God's Preparation
We do not always understand life situations and this is definitely one of those times. We heard back from our social worker at FamilyCore about the age requirement. We were told that the age requirement of 21 years old to hold a foster family license in Illinois has no exceptions. In other words we can not even begin the home study process right now. This means we will be simply waiting for the next 8 months until I turn 21. It is hard to understand because we felt a leading from God to begin. Sometimes we will never understand but we simply have to trust. In church yesterday the minister talked about God having a time of preparation before we begin His work. Events that happen in our lives are God's way of preparing us for some other event that will happen or something He may call us to do. We are all put here to do something for God but not everyone is called to the same thing. Sometimes God needs time to prepare us for what He is calling us to do. I suppose that the next 8 months will be a time of preparation for us as a couple. Then in God's perfect time we will be sent to do His work.

Jesse and Karla,
ReplyDeleteWe will be keeping you in our prayers as you start this new journey. May you feel God's nearness no matter what may come. He holds the key to all unknown and I am glad, if other hands should hold the key or if He trusted it to me, I might be sad.
Love and Prayers,
Sean and Ashley
