Yesterday we had our first Home Study for our Foster/Adopt program and it went well. Kevin and I have talked about lots of things during this process and the one thing that sticks out most may be the answer to a question we have been asked a lot. Why would we want to start over with kids when we are almost done? Jenny has her own life and John is a senior in high school now. Our answer is that we don't ever want to be "done". Whether it's helping children who have been thrown into a situation they didn't ask for, working towards Kevin's mission goal of an auto repair ministry, or whatever we feel that God wants us to do. We feel like there's so much we can still do. Bro. Frank taught an incredible class last Wednesday night that helped confirm the way we felt. We watched a video that asked "If you know you are going to die (and it will definitely happen to everyone) why would you live as if you weren't?" We feel that we need to do all we can until we can't anymore. I'll finish up with two of my favorite verses -
Proverbs 3:27 and Hebrews 13:2
