This morning we received a call from our agency. They have two girls, aged three & five who need to be placed into alternate care by 2/3/10. While this was out of the guidelines we told them we wanted to work within, we are willing to forge ahead into unknown territory for the sake of keeping two birth siblings together in one family.
Our faith in the Triune God-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and His plan remains steadfast. It makes us willing to step into into unfamiliar territory and circumstances. There are definitely obstacles to overcome. There is lack of information, uncertainty; one more child potentially in the home than anticipated and all the associated space issues like tight living quarters, tight automobile space, etc… We remain, committed to doing God's will, and with the support of our friends and family, pressing into the situation in faith.
Please pray for discernment, that the 4 current children in our family will all be receptive and flexible and that Jody and I will stay the correct course. Early next week, we will speak with our agency and the county human services agency on behalf of these dear ones. I will provide further details as they become available. Thanks for your partnership in our ongoing endeavor to love children that need special love.
