I was called to be a foster parent – when I was 17, the calling came. I was in total fear to do so, not knowing it was God yearning for me to work for Him in this way…..I spent the next 18 years thinking that my head was talking…not Him pulling at my heart and asking. I came over my fears and became a foster parent. A single foster parent, no bio children- this told me too that He wanted me to have my full attention to some pretty needy children – and I told Him that I’d take the hardest child (ren) out there…..<br /> <br /> His children that were placed with me were considered to be from a case that was labeled as one of the ‘worse’ in the county, special needs in so many ways…..my heart is in turmoil today about a current situation (s) and I’ve been really feeling like perhaps this calling is over, I helped where I could….but the kids’ case is not over, not by a long shot….however, this morning as I follow my heart to look up (online here) passages in the Bible to read and help my confused heart, I came upon this piece of reading/post/blogg - - “Are you called?”….tears stream down my cheeks and I yell, “yes Lord, I AM called, please use me more in service for You”….I still am going to search around for readings to go to in the Bible….I have a week left of vacation from my SAH job/nanny for my sister/fostering and everything else…..I am going to seek rather than pretend the pain is not here….the pain to my current foster situation that is. ANY help in directions for my search in answers………<br /> I LOVE this. I was called to be a foster parent – when I was 17, the calling came.
