We are finally getting the chance to move back home with family. This is huge! We have been here four years now and as much as we love Bloomington/Normal we really Kansas people. In the coming weeks we will be packing a few things and letting the movers handle the rest. Nathan negotiated movers....YEAH! I am so excited about that! We will be tying up all the loose ends here and finishing up school and packing up clothes, the dog and any remaining little bits.
One big question that has loomed in everyone's minds and out of a few mouths is what is going to happen with Foster Care???
OMGosh Our license does not transfer in anyway...first of all...we are only licensed in the state of Illinois. So we have to return that to the great state of Illinois. Boooo! So we pray and think and wait and see what we are going to do...we have a few friends here that we have consulted with on the issue and one thing that has rung true is that we still feel called to do what we have been doing. I have said almost in passing that maybe we haven't gotten a call to this point and I mean we haven't gotten ANY calls to this point because God doesn't feel like we are suppose to be a three child family. One very wise friend told me last night that just because our child isn't here in Illinois doesn't mean that they aren't in Kansas.
I pondered that all the way home...and when we got home God had answered my thoughts and prayers in a very direct way...we got our very first call.
We could not accept the child and told the caller but it was the answer I needed in that moment. God is telling us we need to pursue our dream of becoming adoptive parents from the foster care system. God couldn't have said it more clearly if He (or She) had stepped right in front of me and shook me and said snap out of it! It is all going to be ok! I have all the answers and you will be just fine.
Thank you to my wise friend...and Thank you God!
