Do you ever wish you could crawl into the arms of Jesus? Or ever feel like you know your gifts that the Lord gave you and yet Satan creeps in and tells you that you are not worthy or good enough? I am having that struggle right now. I have been blessed with a love for children having had one the natural way and two adopted loves. I have felt a pull towards doing foster care and yet here is where the struggle comes in. Having lost my husband five years ago to cancer there have been times over the years that I feel I just can't do it all. Note the "I"... I am so thankful to serve a Lord and Savior that is there 24/7. Because let me tell you I have been on my knees! It is so hard being a single parent..the loneliness alone is deafening, the chores..come on seriously I need a man around! But, the Lord reminds me in..
James 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4.Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
..that he is not done with me! My hearts desire is to serve God with all my heart. I will continue to pray about foster care and go to scripture to hear my Lord tell me that I am worthy of His love and that He promises to continue caring for me and my children as He has by placing such dear friends in our lives.

Friend - You do have amazing gifts and talents and you are using them for the Lord (that is probably why you are being attacked).
God knew you would raise these kids, He knew you would not have a husband here on Earth and He has, can and will equipt you for the good work He has put before you.
Sending you a ((hug)) - put on some Praise and Worship music and kick the devil in the teeth! In fact, I am going to do the same! XOXO
My heart goes out to you!
I can only pray that you will know strength for the journey and the presence of the Lord with you!
God bless

You are in my prayers. I have never had the pleasure of meeting you in person, but I feel like I know you, through Sha, and all this great technology, but I want to say your beautiful spirit is evident. I know the Lord uses you daily, and that He is with you constantly. Thanks for sharing your heart.
