Don't Blink, Life Changes

Wow, since i have posted on this blog, my life has become a whirlwind. 2 more toddlers later and my house has become a zoo. With constant noise, activity, poop, pee, slop, and chaos; lets just say I have lost grasp of the norm. Never a dull moment, laughs and cries, shouts and screams, running, jumping, hitting, expressions of joy, and moments of temper tantrums. This has now become my abode since we have become foster parents to Dominic and alycsia. My wife is constantly running around to therapy appointments, visits, and social/case worker meetings. Our lives have become governed by a calendar and every detail of our life is now scheduled. Then, on top of that, we are making a big effort to keep Megan, Allison and Aiden involved and the opportunities to pursue their own hobbies and meet their needs too. I know this sounds crazy, tiring, and draining, and it all is, but I love it all. All of the before mentioned brings total fulfillment to my life to know that God has entrusted us with other people's kids for a time to love and show his love. It is a huge responsibility and the weight of it all has caused me to totally lean on God's strength and his love. I am guessing that is part of his plan too. I don't know exactly what God is doing in all of this, but I know that I am in his will and in his will is the best place to be. Thank you God for your favor and blessing. Make me the husband and father you want me to be
