When Suffering Binds instead of Tears-How We Tell Our Story Part 2

February 22, 2019February 22, 2019 ~ pursuedby ~ 2 Comments

When Josh talks about this time, he tells me he truly wondered if his wife would ever return to him—but more so, would she ever return to God? He knew he couldn’t force or change anything for me, and he knew God was dealing with me. His only job was to love me. It was a very sacrificial love those couple of years.

Chasing Hearts ~ loving + fostering teenagers

February 9, 2019February 8, 2019 ~ pursuedby ~ 1 Comment

Teenagers are rebellious. I’m rebellious. We’re kindred spirits, them and I. That honeymoon period? I had one too.

Our brokenness will draw attention, but our healing is designed to be a witness bearer for Jesus.

“Scars” by I Am They

I’m just so very grateful for women in our lives that are not just willing, but gladly loving us by loving our kids...all 6 of them this #easter #resurrectionsunday . One of THE BEST WAYS to love a family that fosters, is to get cpr certified and background checked so you can watch their kids for them. It is SUCH a gift. Thanks for loving us so well @storycitychurch via @alishas24 + @stefanijune + @leisurely__laura Ps...the picture of David is once again #to die for #thisisfostercare #fostercare #loveyourneighbor #bettertogetherla

Tiny improvements, day by day. She’s learning us and we’re learning her and safety and love and comfort are slowly winning . Im practicing once again, to lay aside my “way”, how I “do babies”, and instead to focus on loving her, helping her, to resist anger when I’m tired + impatience when I think she “should be old enough to do this by now...” . It’s a dying to self that I’ve come to know, cherish even. Because Jesus fills where I’m removed. He’s using a child, once again, to change me from what I am, to the woman that looks more like Christ. And in this, this is life. This is freedom. This is joy. This is worth. This is a gift not just to me or her, but to each of my children, my husband, my friends and family...being made more like Jesus is always worth it because He is worthy . Part of me doesn’t quite know how I got here, to a place where I rest and trust the hard, the painful, the slow process of sanctification. But I can look back and remember, remember where I was, remember who I was, remember what I felt. The mistrust, the hurt, the unbelief, the desperation—and He was there, right there through it all, pursuing me with His goodness + His mercy because of His great love for me . This is why we can go and do hard things. Whatever they may be. This is why we can love and give and sacrifice sleep and money and time and emotions—because His promises are true. Joy comes. He is there. His presence is in the darkness. His way is the way of Light. By His stripes, we are healed—HEALED. . . . #thisisfostercare #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #risenmotherhood #instagramforchrist #pursued #hopewriters #amwriting #fostercare #jesusheals #resurrectionsunday #easterweek #motherofmultiples #identity #toddlerlife

#Todiefor I’ve come to expect my older 4 to love on our new babes when they come to our home. I didn’t know how Dav would react honestly. I was prepared for my first jealous babe experience. But instead, Dav smiles huge when he sees her, is very concerned when she cries, is happy to share food and drinks, my arms and lap, and thinks she’s so funny. He got her first smile, her first giggle. Dav made her comfortable. At a 1.5 old, he is learning to serve and love and share. He feels more like my son than ever. What a joy this boy is. God is soo good. #jesuswritesthebeststories #thisisfostercare #belovedbygod823 #fostercare
