It's hard to believe that we have made it so far in the process already. I know it has been months, but suddenly it feels like it has flown by. Maybe it's the realization that soon we will be diving into unknown waters and praying for God's help to swim. I keep saying how excited and terrified I am. There are so many emotions rolled up in this for me, I just have to find peace in knowing that God's got this.
Our 27 hours of training have been completed, and I'm surprised to say that I am sad. I am not usually a very good student, but I enjoyed every minute of our training. We had a fabulous leader and met some really fantastic couples going through the same grueling process we are. It was really nice to hear about others' stories, hopes and fears. I really understand why they stress finding support with other foster families in your area. I think we got lucky because every family we have met thus far has been so wonderful.
We have some final paperwork and such to finish up, but we are nearing the end of our process.
"I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid." - John 14:27
