We boarded this roller coaster we’re on a couple months ago now, I guess. We’re all buckled in, smiling in anticipation. Our knuckles are white on the safety bar as we’re ready to experience something exhilarating, exciting, fun and just this side of terrifying. We’ve started the ascent. We can hear the tick, tick, tick of the coaster’s car over the track. And we’re moving. So. Very. Slowly.
In the middle of the biggest decision of our lives to foster, God called me to another biggest decision of our lives. Matt and I decided that we’re going to home school the girls next year. How I know that we can do both, foster and home school, has absolutely everything to do with God’s timing. If He would have called us to home school before He called us to foster, I’m not sure how ready I would have been to listen. Now, it’s just another thrilling turn (and maybe a loop-to-loop) on our journey to come.
“Use Me, Lord!” Those words are propelling this ride forward. And with God at the controls, how can I fear?
