I shared a few weeks ago that Austin and I were in the beginning stages of getting licensed to foster. This was after a long journey with health and Caleb's adoption. We thought health was headed in the right direction, but I experienced some setbacks recently. That is when we decided we needed to wait to foster or adopt again.
It's interesting to watch God work. The way He swings doors wide open or slams them closed. Caleb's adoption was a WIDE OPEN DOOR! It couldn't have been more obvious that it's exactly what the Lord was leading us to do. When we began discussing foster care, we got really excited. However, God has definitely closed that door, or at least temporarily! It's incredibly obvious that this is not the right time for us to foster. We were initially disappointed, but now that we can see how God is using this time for us, we have been reassured that this is what's right for us at this time.
We have A LOT of life changes happening right now, and we're in the middle of more medical tests for me. We hope and pray God leads us to foster care in the future. It's something we wholeheartedly want to do, but as with anything, the Lord's timing has to be right.
So for now, we are focused on health, our family, our precious little boy, and our relationship with and reliance on our God! He's working things out at all times!
