We're still waiting to hear back on what (if anything) the agency caseworker learned from M's birthmother. We're also waiting to hear what her supervisor said about the grace period to finish up our licensing and what we need to do to stay open. I've promised myself not to call her to ask for an update until it's been about a week since I called her with the news in the first place. After all, this is not even an actual case at this point. No way it should take priority over, you know, children already born and in foster care or looking for homes. And it's the end of the month, so I'm sure there are lots of things to get wrapped up right now on her plate.
But I think we're pretty determined to be ready to figure something out if this baby ends up needing a place to go. We were still waffling over the weekend, struggling with the pull between rationality and emotion.
So, we got smacked over the head with it. This Sunday's scripture reading? Included 1 John 17.
How does God’s love abide in anyone who has the world’s goods and sees a brother or sister in need and yet refuses help?
Well, then. I guess we do our part to be prepared to help and then see what happens.
Sometimes God's whispers are a little louder than others. :)
ReplyDeleteI think we were trying to ignore the whispers, so He had to speak up a little bit... :)
