Here's a peek into our heart. God has began to birth a new vision in our hearts. Our time spent with foster children has made us aware of staggering need within our reach. Every year 25 to 30 thousand youth age out of foster care and are put out at the age of 18. Can you imagine not having anyone to call your own. Most go back to the abusive situations they were taken out of and end up homeless or imprisoned. God began to speak to Mike and I about opening a home for those wanting to follow the Lord. To provide a safe place for them to learn basic life skills and to give them a Biblical foundation. We feel like the Lord has told us to just do it. So by faith we are stepping out. We are praying for God to provide the resources as well as the young adults He desires to impact.
So the next time you read my family may have yet grown again. In God's family there is always room for one more and you never age out.
