We applied for our fostering licence some time ago, through an agency in winnipeg. We never heard anything, they were very hard to get a hold of and never returned any of our calls. They finally called us 7 weeks later to let us know that they wont be able to look at our application for atleast 6 months. Thats a really long time, because following the application we need to do home studys, training, etc. So, we decided it would be best to move on to a different agency. We found one through a friend and we decided to place a call, once again, no return phone calls, etc. So, i started to pray about Gods plan. What He wanted and the thought actually crossed my mind to return to work at the end of mat leave, but there was no peace at all about that decision.
So, one night after the kids were in bed i hopped onto facebook. A friend started to message me and we got on the topic of fostering, so i told her about all the stuff we were going through and she told me about the agency she was going through with one of her kids. So, we placed a call the next morning, they actually answered the phone and we got some great news!! We have a social worker coming to our home on Friday to meet us and the kids and have us fill out an application and start the process!
Once again i was reminded that its truly Gods timing, and Gods plan, and i have no control really over any of it.
I love when He teaches me new things and when i listen to Him thats where i find total peace :)

Praise God Heather! I too have been really been listening to God and have been moved by the grace of God. Everything happens in His time and things that we may not understand will always work out for us because He has much GREATER plans for us. :)
