Well some of you know we have had a big change in our life the past...month or so with the addition of a new kiddo. She is only temporary so we are officially getting our first taste of being REAL foster parents. I feel like God (of course) does everything for a reason and so I feel like she was placed with us for a reason. At first I thought it was because we were going to get to adopt her lol but I have come to realize it was not only to minister to her family, be a blessing in her life, but also to show me that Grace is enough for now. I SO badly wanted another child. I have realized that Grace fills all the voids of a child that I want. Yes I DO want a baby...lol who doesn't want a baby. And if we were to get a call for a baby today I would OF COURSE say yes...because well...its a BABY! But as for older kids...I don't think we can do it...especially kids who are the same age as Grace. So we lowered our Foster age to 18 months and younger since Grace is about to be 2 (in 12 days!) So I believe God has taught me through this new child that I need to be happy with what I have at the time and not always be wishing for more. God blessed us SOOOO MUCH with Grace that I should be thankful and happy with just her. I do have that desire for more children but....there is no hurry!!! I need to spend time with my baby! She's only 2....
Our newest is a sweetie, beautiful, but definitely has had challenges in her life already. I hope for the best for her and know God has a plan for her little self.
On another note...did I mention Grace is ALMOST TWO! :-) Thats crazy! She now talks like crazy too!! She can say so much!!! And says some sentences like "I go night night" "Bye bye Neesy or Bye bye Daddy" "Love you" "I want a bath" (which sounds more like I uh bash)
Anyways....thats it for today...a little spilling out of my feelings for once!
