Trust

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."  Proverbs 3:5,6

God is teaching me about trusting Him. I am learning that I do not have to understand His ways, but instead be obedient and TRUST that He has a bigger purpose...that He has a plan...because He LOVES us.

God made it clear that I was to go back to work full time. You can imagine my confusion then, when we got a call this afternoon about a little 2 year old boy needing a home. In my mind I was telling God.."I do not get it at all. Really?"

I struggled a little because Lee and I feel called to be foster parents and now that I am back in the classroom...I can't just up and leave! So, I shared with my supervisor and the amazing woman who runs the school, "I really want to stay full time, but this little boy would need a place at the school too and I don't know if that is possible." Amazingly, they are accepting him for while I am there full time- until December! 

Still, it is difficult for me to comprehend this scenario, but I know it was orchestrated by a God that I trust and so....bring it on! I'm ready to learn. With God's help, I'm ready to love this little boy and to work with the other teachers at school to help him adjust and begin to heal.


I came home tonight and this is what my sweet son had to say about the whole thing:


"That would be so nice if you take care of that baby boy because his birth mom is gone. He might feel sad about his mom, but that's ok, we can take care of him. That's a good idea if you take care of that baby boy."

I couldn't agree more.
