God appeared to Moses as a burning bush & asked him directly to lead Israel out of slavery & into the promise land.

4 times Moses said please no God not me!
-I stutter when I speak
-I’m not ready to lead
-pick anyone else
-send my brother Aaron

God said NO,
I choose you

That’s how I felt when I had a tug at my heart to be a foster parent.

My wife & I are feelers!!
We both cried so hard when our dog passed, we get attached easy & love hard!

But we felt God asking, so we said yes.
We were blessed with this little angel we nicknamed cute chunk

We instantly loved her so much.
So did our fierce guard dog

She taught us a lot & expanded our hearts.
We are grateful we got the opportunity to keep her safe & love on her.

Now, as hard as it is to say goodbye we are grateful to give her back to her dad next week.

We are sending her off with new clothes, toys & a crib.
We invited the dad to our church or to meet & play anytime.
I offered my cell & said let’s hike, lift ,talk dad life as this is his 1st child.

We prayed over her tonight & my wife & I cried 1 time vowing to wake tomorrow

Back on mission ready to crush again!

I’ve always worn my heart on my sleeve.

I sobbed leaving my best buddies in high school after graduation.
I cried for days after my grandfather & grandmother passed away.

I knew this would be hard.
It’s why I begged God no.

But when He asks, we step up.
It’s what my family does.

So we have two open beds now & will be ready to keep more children safe as soon as God puts them here.

When I doubt I go back to Jesus
“DO NOT FEAR, ONLY BELIEVE.”

Thats how I choose to live & lead my home

All love
