Nataly and Joselyn


Some or most of you may get my prayer letter... so you know the big news in my life. For those who don't, I'm becoming a foster mom of Nataly (5) and Joselyn (almost 4) tomorrow!

It's a long story and I don't want to get into it but their current foster family has asked me to take them back. Since Precious Miracles as a home is not functioning (but as a foundation it is) I really saw no other option but to take them into my apartment with me.
Yikes! I know the job ahead of me is going to be HUGE! But I also know that it's my favorite job and the most rewarding that exists. I'm very excited to be a full-time caregiver. I'm essentially a single mom of 2 from one day to the next.
They are sweet girls and I'm blessed to have them directly in my life again! Please pray for us! We are all bound to feel a whole mess of emotions in the next few days, weeks, months etc. But I know with God's help we'll get through this. Oh and before anyone else asks, let me just tell you that the girls are in the process of being adopted in the U.S. and they will stay with me until that day. But there is no way of knowing how long that will be. But I'm up for the challenge!
This pic (above) was taken 2 weekends ago at an outing. There will be many many more to come!
Oh and to answer another question I've been asked. I will continue to help out at For His Children while the girls are in school. They've been going to a preschool and I'm going to keep them in it for a little stability in their crazy lives. They have their friends and they love their teachers. And... it gives me a few hours every morning to do the things I need to do without hauling two little ones around with me. =) So I'll be working a few hours a week still at FHC. And the rest of my days, nights, weekends I'll be a mom.... YAY!!!!
