First Meeting

The first meeting is done and it went really well. A lot of questions were answered and we were able to get a better understanding of things to come. The road will be challenging and honestly that idea makes want to turn around and live my safe life just as it is. But then the thought of being able to provide a safe and loving home for a child is worth every heartache or giving a child back, or every struggle I have with a child that doesn't know how to be love and refusing love, or just the lack of sleep from being called in the middle of night for a newborn. Whatever trail that may come I know I can turn to God for guidance and He will show me the right path and give me the strength to continue. I know that I have friends and family that will be there for me through the good and bad and will be praying hard for us, and we thank you from the bottom of our heart for that. I know that when we experience those trials...they are minimal to some of the trails these kids could be facing. I know that now is the time to do something, be bigger than myself and live outside of my comfort zone because we are meant for something bigger. We are the light of the world.
