What a crazy week!! busy busy busy!! but good busy. Very grateful for what God has brought about in this world for us, for our family.
We have had a bit of rain, off and of rain and more rain expected in the forecast. Its good, very good. We need it desperately. So though it interupts so many outside activities it is a blessing.
We had our last class last night. It went well and I actually am going to miss listening to the stories and the antidotes of the folks at class. Good people with big hearts and even heartier ideals put into action. In this life I find it rare to find folks that live their beliefs, actually act with what they know and believe to be right. It was good and heart warming to see some folks that do so.
As I said last night for me it seems to have come to a point where so many things directed me in this direction. From the first seed planted so many years ago, to Nicole coming to live in our family, to accepting the job at the correctional facility. From there meeting my counterpart and coworker to listening to his story, the timing of the state contracts, to the one organization I was able to connect with, and the ethics/beliefs of that organization. St Francis 
, then silly as it sounds our new pope, and finally the last card to fall into place. . . . the offer of the position at DCF. The ideals of what directed me in this direction to the finally the ability to financially be able to do this . . . . everything seems to come together and I simply have to believe it is God’s will. He has granted me much peace over the decision after I spent so much time asking him why, why, what direction Lord, what are you asking of me, where do you want me to be, what do you want me to be doing? for I do not understand, I dont. I didnt think of it until Missy spoke of it last night.. . . yes, in a way I feel called to do this. Who I am, my trust and belief in God tells me this is the way and when I look at all the things that will be sacrificed, all the hard work, the emotions and pain that we could go through I know God created a woman in me able to not only deal with it but also to find the good in it, to see the good in it and to share that good with those most needing sharing with. In the end I am not doing this for me, I am doing this to be my Lord’s servant and bring to him the children, to help the children. I asked and he answered and I will follow his path.
So though there is a list full of items to get ready, I know God will be by my side and together it will all come together. I still have moments of worry but they quickly pass, my faith and belief in God intact.
