Blog = Revived!!

It's true, folks...I've decided to make another post on my long, lost, left-in-the-dust...blog!  Mainly because I miss it, and right now I have a bit more time on my hands. School is back in full swing, the wonderful yet crazy busy summer is over, and fall is kicking in!!  My favorite time of year...I just wish it lasted longer!

But I also wanted to share some news!  Some of you already know, but we are excited to begin the journey of Foster Care!  It's a bit scary, I won't lie, but we know that this is what God wants us to pursue right now, so once again, we're just trusting Him on this. :)  We have completed all the training, paperwork, inspections, etc, & our home study has been submitted!  So within a couple of weeks, we should be welcoming a 17 year old boy into our family & home. He was in the Maple House with us for over half a year, so we know him well, & the kids are excited!  Esp J...he's super "pumped" to have another guy in the house!  :)

God is good, and we trust Him to give us the love and support that "A"needs...and most of all, a family, and a father. Something he has missed his entire life. We're thankful that he knows his Heavenly Father, and made a commitment last year!  Please pray!  Pray for him & us through this transition. Pray for our kids..that they can once again welcome another teen into our home & lives. Pray for "A"'s salvation!  That he can continue to pursue his relationship with Jesus, & that he can shake off satans cruel temptations that he so ruthlessly hurls at teens today.   Pray that we can love him as our own, and that we can meet him where he needs us....this would be much more difficult if we didn't have support from our families, which were so thankful for, and  the power of prayer!!
