Walk of Faith

For the past two years I've been called to take a walk of faith. I've negotiated, bargained, and flat out argued with God. If you didn't know, He's a bit persistent when He has a call for our lives. Someone recently told me that "faith" is the bridge between where we are and where God wants us to be. I have finally come to a place where I'm absolutely terrified but taking those first steps anyway. Within a week or so, I will be certified to begin foster care.

The scariest part is the unbelievable amount of "unknowns". My 4yr old cousin asked the most precious question the other day. We told him that I was going to be a foster mom and that kids would be coming to live at my house. He replied with "Well what are you gonna name em?"  This question along with many others I've been asked in the past few weeks makes me realize I HAVE NO IDEA! I don't know their names, ages, or gender....I don't know if they like peanut butter, watching movies, or if they'll like walking the dogs. Honestly, the only thing I know is that they'll be children....children that need a safe place to grow and experience love.

I'm not certain why I was called to this, but as I begin walking in faith, across that bridge, I know that my God and what awaits me on the other side is greater than any fear I have.
