Pull up a seat.

One of my favorite things in the whole world is to sit across from someone, drinking a wonderful cup of coffee and sharing about life. 

There are so many people that I would love to do that with right now, instead, let's have a virtual cup.

If we were having coffee today,

• I would tell youI am studying Romans. We would probably talk about the richness of God's word. I would ask you what you have been learning from the Lord recently. 
• We would probably talk about foster care in some form or fashion, since I can't really seem to have a conversation without it. 
• I would tell you that my baby is finishing his first year of preschool. 
• I want to make a sidewalk chalk mural on my sidewalk. 
• I would ask you how you are filling your time these days. 
• I am spending time on one room a week until my house is totally organized and things are minimized. 
• I would ask you to come help me organize more of the foster care closet. 
• I would complain about how messy my room is. 
• I would dream of all the things I will do this summer. 
• I would probably tell you that I am really tired today. 
• I would tell you of my plans to redo Caleb's room. 
• I would tell you that I want a kitten. 

What would you want to talk about if we were having coffee today???

I'm waiting. Kind of.

Foster Care has that weird place of waiting. And I most definitely in that place, waiting for our next placement.

In many ways, God has preparing my heart for a new placement, as well as preparing our circumstances. I am learning what it means to be a stay at home mom, we have established SOMEWHAT of a routine, God is teaching me so much to rely on Him, and all of these things are really preparing us for our next placement. 

For those of you wondering, Chick is still with us. She has now been with us for 13 months. We are still unsure of what will happen in her case. *Keep praying.*

 There is still some room in our house and van, and definitely room in our hearts for another child to love.

I so, hesitate to even say that, or to be excited about it. In order for a child to be in foster care means that their home situation is not good. It means that they have endured circumstances that I will have never have experienced.

And yet, it is a reality of our broken and fallen world.

So here we are.

Waiting.

Enjoying every minute of our life.

Loving our time with Chick, and praying that we will be able to adopt her. 

Loving being Caleb's mamma, because he is the coolest kid ever:)

Be blessed today friends!
