(That sentence should win the Understatement and Evasive Wording Prize for 2011!) Our little girl has a heart defect, and I know what you mean about worrying you won't be able to stand the potential pain that comes with taking risks on behalf of a child. But God asked us to do this, and like your calling to foster care, it was never about us in the first place. :) Love your blog, by the way. I'll have to stop back by. Sorry I don't have any tips on interior decorating.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01955992500786612128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512688883172655592.post-76017459857505575852010-06-17T14:45:35.541-04:002010-06-17T14:45:35.541-04:00Thank for you for voicing the honest concerns and ...Thank for you for voicing the honest concerns and needs associated with foster care.

Never. You may want to take a sedative here & there, but hey, welcome to parenthood! :) We adopted an older child, and although the learning curve is steep, the price of not obeying was steeper still. <br />Blessings on you.<br />CindyMrs Changsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840252521875408953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512688883172655592.post-64464745053824402512010-06-14T21:43:14.763-04:002010-06-14T21:43:14.763-04:00I wish you luck!

It's true that God wants to use us in our weakest areas! I'm writing a curriculum for our SS program...NOT my gift, but He has been so good through it all! I can't wait to experience foster parenting through you! :)<br />Thanks for your blog...even though we don't know each other.

I was just certain i couldn't do it. But then God changed my heart - and like your friend Chad said - I wasn't doing it for me any more. I won't lie... letting go of the twins tore my heart in two. It still does and it's been almost 2 years since they left. But I wouldn't change a thing. Praise God for your step of faith!!! You will be blessed beyond measure!!!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13481930991215306755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3512688883172655592.post-60208258559617665012010-06-13T21:56:06.067-04:002010-06-13T21:56:06.067-04:00I am so proud of you.
