it has been a tough week for Tony and I because he ended up working way more than we expected him to on our first week of fostering and were hoping he could be home more as I adjusted. I know he felt bad and I survived it:) but this morning he called on his way home from work and said my most favorite thing he ever says to me, he said "I have been thinking about you and having a major love gush for you. Thank you so much for caring about things God cares about." ahhhh thats what I have been needing to hear. thats the encouragement I needed. everyone has been so sweet and has been SO supportive, which I am so grateful for, but I get uncomfortable and don't know what to say when they say 'this is so great you are doing this, I could never do this, you guys are so amazing, etc.'. they are being polite and encouraging, I am just hoping they see Jesus in this whole process and not us. and it just reminded me this morning after talking to Tony, we are doing this for God, it's not about me, even when the road is hard, he called us to this, and I am just so grateful my husband listened and obeyed that call. he is an amazing man. love gush!:)
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27
You both are such a true inspiration. Thank you for starting this blogg. You have such a beautiful love story and the babies that you foster are going to be so much better and stronger because of the love you both share for each other and especially for Jesus. I can't wait to read more about the upcoming little ones that the Lord places in your life. Keep on loving, but mostly keep on trusting ;)
