So how do you let someone know that God REALLY does love them and that He IS looking down on them and watching out for them? I know it is by your actions and words but when you see no progress it can become frustrating but, hold on and wait on God.
I have been looking back on my life since I have been a foster parent and wonder how in the world I survived. I also have been thinking alot about my foster family and wonder how they survived me in their home. I'm sure I gave them and my social worker a hard time. I just have to say Thank You.
My heart breaks for the broken and I pray that God will continue to let me do what I am doing. It is truly a blessing to help those in need and see the smile that comes to their face when they know they are loved and cared for. I can say from experience that it is nice to know that you are not going to hurt anymore, that someone does care. Of course being in foster care as a teen-ager is hard as you think you know it all and that you don't need anybody but it is rewarding when they finally give in and let you help them.
So this is being posted today as I let the battery run down and then I was too tired to finish my thoughts last night.
In writing this blog I am hoping to put my feelings down and gather all my "feelings" that I have elsewhere in the house in many notebooks and maybe put some order to my life in the written word. I have always wanted to do this, have started then I quit as I am too scattered in all these notebooks but, you watch 2010 I'll get it done.
My one desire is to let people know that there can be healing from anything IF there is forgiveness, true redemptive forgiveness, without it there is no real healing. My foster family told me this as I am telling my foster child but, like I said because we were and am teen-agers we don't listen, I truly hope that I can get A's attention and that she will listen and not make the same mis-takes I made. I know that may not be reasonable but I can hope.
Be blessed and good night.
