Answered Prayers!!!

My family is a registered Foster/Adopt family, as some of you may have known... And while we have had numerous calls with referrals for children to be placed in our home, for some reason every single one of them has fallen through. The first few calls were extremely emotionally draining because they tell us that it was an absolute, that those kids will be coming to live with us, and then a few hours later we get a call saying they either went back home to live with their parents(Which is a blessing... Sometimes) or that it was between us and another family and the case worker chose the other family... So we have had our fair share of almosts. But this week, while we are respiting 4 children(which we love them, they are the sweetest cutest kids!!) We got the news that we are going to be getting 3 little ones... Clifford-7, Jazmine-2 almost 3, and Ariel-9 months! They will be coming to live with us this coming Tuesday!

This entire process has been such an emotional roller coaster but i can say with all honesty that i am thrilled it wasnt a walk in the park! GOD totally did a work in me and my familys hearts. We HAD to have faith that he would provide for us and bring the right children in his perfect timing. So even though we got excited and then let down a few times, we always had his promise for us in the back of our minds. We knew that he was waiting to put the right children in our home!

I cannot wait to meet these precious babies!! :) Please pray for my family and for these kids, that they would not only fit well in our home but that they would come to know and Love the LORD as well! My hope and prayer for this whole experience is that GOD would use my family to speak to the kids he brings and that he would impact their lives forever!

I will definitely be writing come Tuesday to give an update on how the kids respond to their first day in their new home(new home for a while at least) :)
