What seems like the right thing to do could also be the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. It’s always worth it. ~Unknown Source
We leave Saturday afternoon. While the quote above may sound a little dramatic for my situation, I do feel like I am on the verge of something BIG. There are just so many unknowns. The kids keep asking me what it is going to be like when Joshua comes home? What if he doesn't like us, they ask? They are excited but I am starting to sense my kids nervousness that comes with change and the unknown. If only I had answers for them. Then I think of Joshua and I feel sorry for him. He is going to be leaving his only home that he has ever known. I am pretty sure he will grieve. Even though I know that he would have been transferred and would have eventually been sent to a mental institution. He does not understand this. So he will grieve and I have been entrusted with teaching him about God, love and family. It will be hard, maybe even the hardest thing I have ever done.
But He's Worth It!!!
It is BIG. Trusting God to continue to lead the way as you bring Joshua home. I'm pretty sure you & Todd felt the task before you was bigger than yourselves each time you brought one of your newborns home from the hospital. He is faithful and will provide the wisdom, strength, peace & courage for this time of homecoming & transition. Praying for your whole family!

ReplyDeleteWhenever we step out of our comfort zone and into GOD's path, it takes faith and trust in HIM. But He is the GOD of the universe and He will surround you with His grace, peace and wisdom. Ephesians 3:20-21 "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." God bless you & Todd and your precious family!
