Foster Update

Two weeks have gone by since we became a family of seven.

The first week went really well. She was excited to be here, responded really well to all our directions, and plus, ladies from church brought us dinner all week.

This last week has gone not so well. She got sick, Asher got sick, and I got sick. By Wednesday, Aiden and baby were down. What I worried would be difficult (what to do with a new toddler in the house) became a non-stop impossible job of taking care of everyone while trying to have a godly attitude.

We went to the doctor’s office 4 times. Jason had to take 2 days off work to help. I had one mommy meltdown. (sorry, Asher)

But now that she and I are both well (the rest of the family are in various stages of getting-well-ness) we can go back to getting to know her and enjoying her.

 This verse came to mind when I didn’t want to get up one day: Luke 9:62  But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”
