Calls

The calls come. Not very much at first.




Questions. Wondering if I can ... Saying they have a child needing a home. The first one was respite only. The second was a short placement as another family got licensed. The 3rd was a sibling group.




I have strict guidelines I need to stick to. I have opened my home for 0-4 year olds. I work outside the home. I have never been a parent before. I need to be able to work. I cannot jump into parent hood with a school aged child. The schedule would be a nightmare.


Foster care, while yes, is compared to a long term babysitter .. but there are appointments. There are visitations. There is so much time commitment. I am not sure how this is all going to come together.

I can fret and worry. I can stress and be anxious. But this journey has been in my Father's Hands since before I even knew it to be a dream of mine! So that is precisely what I will continue to do. Father, into your Hands I surrender all. Amen.
