Foster care awareness month. Thought I would share a poem I wrote during the years God sent 5 little kids into our family. Love Is...-Love is tying a shoe for the 30th time-Love is making dinner, just sitting down and needing to get up to get someone seconds.-Love is listening to screams that they hate you, but not giving in because you know they need boundaries.-Love is mountains of clothes to wash, that are literally never ending.-Love is sacrificing your Saturday to go watch a baseball game.-Love is giving hugs and kisses to kids lined up in a row needing a little affection they were never shown.-Love is endless hours of doctor, dentist,and counseling appts.-Love is learning to discern the lie and sticking to the consequences.-Love is hours of washing hair, braiding, brushing out the snarls.-Love is knowing you are being manipulated and still being kind.-Love is ignoring the looks and whispers at the grocery store as your family does not look “normal”.-Love is hours of homework, tears, letters to teachers to get back on track.-Love is a bed time story, with an anticipated kiss and hug.-Love is being woken up way before your alarm clock every day because they don’t want to sleep in. Most of all what I have learned in this new foster season we are in ... Love is Action. It is not how I feel. It is not what I say. It is all the things I do that don’t always seem to matter. Love is Action.

Fear is probably not the best word for this, but when I read it I read it as “don’t settle” Don’t settle being in the same place in your walk with the Lord, in your relationships with your family, the same place in your business relationships instead we should strive to grow and continually be challenged in who we are and what we are doing.

Micah 7:18b ... because you delight in showing mercy. Stuck out to me in my reading tonight. God doesn’t begrudgingly show us mercy . He can handle our stumbles. He actually delights in being able to show us mercy.Mercy: Compassion toward an offender.

“Forgive me for being so ordinary while claiming to know so extraordinary a God.”This quote by Jim Elliot is such a good reminder. I want to live in the extraordinary power of a living God so everyone sees how awesome HE is.
