One of my favorite blogs that I follow is the Jason Johnson Blog. His heart for Foster Care and how the church can greatly change the Foster Care system is amazing. I found this from his blog and it is so true!
When we first started doing Foster Care it took us several years to get to the point where we were ready to say yes. Now each time we get a new child, we get an opportunity to say yes. Even if it is inconvenient. Each time we say yes, we say yes to a new adventure. We say yes to a child, a child's family and whoever else maybe in there lives.
Nothing about Foster Care is convenient! I have visitations 3 days a week, appointments several days a week and still trying to maintain a "normal" life for the kids with church, school and sports. But, I know that saying yes means a child will get to sit at a dinner table, have someone to hug while they are missing their family, someone to hold them and walk with them through this scary process. Saying yes maybe so inconvenient but, saying yes gives everyone so much more!
