Now we are already deep into another school year and coming upon our 1 year anniversary of becoming a family of 5. (The brothers came on September 12th, and LS on October 1st.) All kiddos are doing great a loving school. Tater is getting excellent grades and flipping her way through her gymnastic season. BB (Big Brother) is doing great in kindergarten. He is working so hard and trying his best to please his teacher. LB (Little Brother) is such a little leader and is working hard as well. They have both made such amazing progress in a year....sometimes I just stand back in awe. LS (Little Sister) is working hard at potty training. She absolutely LOVES her teacher at daycare and soaks up everything she says.
I am working on putting everything in God's hands and trusting His timing. We still have not heard from bio parents. So, we are waiting on a TPR (termination of parental rights) court date. DFCS is looking into two possible relatives that are 'willing' to take the kids. Let me just tell you how much that bothers me. I don't want someone who is just 'willing'. They deserve to be raised by people who would jump at the chance to have them in their lives.
However, instead of dwelling on that and worrying about the shoe dropping....I am trusting. God's got this. His timing is perfect. If it be His Will that these are kids are ours forever, then it will happen in His time.
I am reminded of the story of Abraham. God asked him to do the hardest thing....be willing to sacrifice his son. God knew He was going to work it out, but He wanted Abraham to trust. This process has been my 'son on the alter' test. God already knows how it will end and He is just asking me to put these kiddos in His hands.
Psalm 33:4-6
4 For the word of the LORD is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.
5 The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
