This week has brought a lot of changes to our house. My husband and I started foster parent training this week. We had no idea what to expect. What we were met with were enthusiastic trainers and lots of other potential foster parents who we will grow closer to over the next few months.
I left the first session feeling renewed in our resolve, thinking about questions for next time and excited for the possibilities that will be opened up to our family. After the long wait to start training, the class was really the boost I needed to keep me going through all the necessary steps towards licensing.
This morning as I sat in mass, I contemplated all the changes that are going on in our lives and how very little anxiety and stress I feel over them. There is such an overwhelming sense of peace and a lot of excitement in my daily life.
The housework seems to still be manageable, even with a few nights a week gone from the house and L milking the mommy gone a little bit, but told me the other day it's "awesome" that I have a job. Overall, I came to the conclusion as I sat in the pew this morning that I am someone's intention.
It's true that I am doing my best to walk where God leads, but so much grace and peace has surrounded this time of transition in our home that I know my prayers have been joined by others. Thank you my someone(s) for your prayers. I pray that you too feel the grace and peace that God has blessed me with through your petition.
