Ready or Not!

February 2, 2017. Today. It's finally here. A day that we have been counting down to since July when the Lord definitively revealed to us His call to foster care. This is a day that I have looked forward to with eager anticipation and nervousness, all at the same time.

Today we begin our training.

Today is the day that changes everything. Today is a day where everything moving forward is pushing toward one goal: mothering and fathering children in need of a loving family. Whether they are with us for a short time, or a lifetime, today we officially begin our journey toward parenthood.

As you go throughout your day, would you lift up in prayer, not only us, but the other families who will be joining us tonight in our training. That we would keep our eyes focused on this call that God has placed over us, and that we would not look to the right or to the left, but only on the path that He has set out for us.

Would you pray in agreement with us that the schemes of the enemy would be in vain, as he tries to prevent us and the other families from carrying this mantle.

Would you pray that schedules open up and that time is protected, so that we all can make it safely and on time to the training, not only today, but for the rest of the training as well over the next few weeks.

Would you pray that our minds and our hearts would not get overwhelmed with information overload, and that we will just take one thing at a time, and look to the Cross for provision and direction.

Would you pray favor and blessing over these families starting their journeys today.

I can't tell you how humbled we are that God has called us here. Ready or not, here we go!
