Coincidence?

Total God moment happened this week.

While stuffing our faces as quickly as we could on Tuesday night before our fourth class began, we looked at the back of the room and noticed that Jason and Michelle Duke were at the sign-in table! J&M are friends from college whom we haven't seen in about 7 years! We obviously weren't able to catch up during the class, but luckily, it ended around 7:30, so the four of us met up at Starbucks for drinks and conversation. 

It was such a blessing to hear about their journey so far and to know that we have a support system and Godly people to partner with on our journey. I truly believe the Lord knew that I needed someone to encourage me to keep going this week. I have been having some pretty serious doubts about the whole fostering issue, but I know He'll make a way if we're called to do this work. 

We have purchased three books so far - two of which were recommended by our agency...The Connected Child, The Out-of-Sync Child, and a generic book about fostering. I'm sure Bry will have all three books read by next weekend...it'll be a success if I can finish one of them before Easter. :)

We had a little time to spare tonight, so we drove out to Ikea to dream a little about the "kids" room. We walked away with one $3.00 purchase - 10 animal finger puppets. It'll be so fun to use these during story time when we put some kiddos to sleep! 

As always, Bry keeps things really interesting!
