Adopting from the fostercare system!

I haven't updated this blog in a long time but I just read something that touched my heart. This is a blog post about adopting from the foster care system. It is so well said, I really can't add anything, except please take a moment to read it.

The road God has for each of us to walk is filled with ups and downs, without them we may not learn to lean fully on Him. I think that is what God is teaching me lately, to lean fully on Him. He is sufficient to meet all my needs. This may sound trite, but believe me, it is a lesson I am glad I am learning! These kids have always had a place in my heart. I wonder if I would really have what it takes to lay down my own life, my pride, my whatever and follow Jesus down this road. To lean fully on Him, no matter where He leads. Older child adoption is different than what we have been called to so far...but not out of the question.
