Let go and let God....

That is our motto for foster care. When the Meers came to live with us for 10 days, we said to each other that we would love for them to stay permanently, but we knew that was not going to happen. Well, God was listening...for now they have been living with us permanently (well, as permanently as foster care can be) for almost three weeks. Their permanancy plan is three fold: they go home with grandma, parents get their act together and they go home with parents, or they stay with us. Our thinking is that we really do not know what is best in the long run for these three....we pray to God every day to guide the people that are in control. Our job is to love and care for these boys and provide a safe place for them to be until that is not our job anymore. I think that I know what the best plan is for these boys and honestly, long term, that is not our house..it's grandma. We would probably adopt these boys in a heart beat and if that is what it comes down to, we will pray and hopefully make the right decision. But, really, there is a lady that they love and miss and who loves and misses them who can hopefully find a way for the boys to live with her. But, maybe a judge will make a different decision...we pray that a judge does not make the decision we think would be bad...but in the long run, we are really here to do our job of loving the boys the best we can. After that, we are not the ones in control....
