In a little more then two weeks, my life will be flipped upside down.
About two weeks ago now, I had an interview as a Residential Caregiver for a organization where I would be the primary caregiver of four children that were removed from their families based on sexual, emotional, physical abuse or child neglect.
These children are then put into this facility while they hopefully await the parents conversion and ultimately being hopefully reunited with their family in a better home. Some of these children's parents are deemed by the judge as unfit parents which then they are put into the foster system.
God opened my eyes to this system that I had never known anything about. I knew that I love children and love any experience I have had working with them. But this is just a whole different ballpark. But when I think about what a valuable experience this would be for me to love those that God loves endlessly as their parent should. There is nothing more rewarding or valuable then that.
So with that, this week I will step out with my faith in Christ. I will put in my two weeks with my current employer and trust that this is God's direction for my next step right now. I will take a step of faith and walk into an area filled with broken children and seek to love them everyday.
"People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them,
but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant.
He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:13-14
