Foster Parents

Please join us in prayer about becoming foster parents. This is something I had considered from time to time but never said a word to Mark about it because I was simply toying with the idea. However, out of the blue, recently Mark said to me that maybe we should consider being foster parents. I'm starting to wonder if God is leading us down this path and so we are in the beginning phases of making phone calls and asking lots of questions. There are lots of fears/concerns but I know that if this is what we should be doing, everything will fall into place. I'm actually content in not having kids so the idea of turning our entire world upside down is a bit unnerving, and yet how could we not help troubled families simply because our life as a couple is comfortable. I'm very passionate about animals and kids, there is something about standing up for those who can't stand up for themselves that really appeals to me. It sort of feels crazy to be looking into this when I'm not even a year out from treatment but then again, some of the things I felt were crazy timing-wise, turned out to be perfect timing in hindsight. Anyway, I would appreciate all the prayer we can get as this is a big, scary, exciting step into the unknown. I don't know what our future holds and that's okay because I know who holds my future!
