Muckboots n' Aprons: We Are Officially...

Ever Lived Someplace You Didn't Like?

"Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not seek decrease. But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on it's behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare."
Jeremiah 29: 4-7

Aren't we exiles on the earth? Maybe we are exiles in our daily life, the physical, mental, or spiritual place we are living presently...

We Are Officially...

waiting....

for our first newborn. Our foster license came in the mail! Yahoo!

Praying for the right baby at the right time.

We also decided to slip in an extra- we got licensed for one more boy 6 and under.

Good for you! My husband and I did infant foster care for 23 yrs. We had about 50 newborns come and go. Our girls were 3, 5, and 7yrs. when we started and I have to say it formed their thinking and lives in ways only God would have known. We worked with a crisis pregnancy center.
Blessings on you as you do this loving work. It really is such a privilege and yes there are many times of broken hearts too. But we trust in a sovereign God! Many blessings, Linda
