Have you ever heard this quote, "“Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security?” Well, I have never felt this to ring more true than in our journey to becoming foster parents. The vast amount of unknowns felt like they would swallow me whole several times. For a person that is a natural planner and makes lists of lists for the sheer satisfaction of being able to cross things off, the inability to plan was just shy of debilitating. I had to reach into a part of myself that I didn't know was there. A section of my heart that God was molding and changing to fit what He needed from me. I shared my personal truth about what it looked like to prepare to be unprepared in a recent blog post for Houston Moms Blog. And let me tell you, it was (and is) hard. But despite all of my questions and anxiety, the children currently experiencing or coming into foster care are feeling it 10x more, and it's our calling to be stronger than our fears. xoxo
