What Are You Living For?

Some days I feel crazy. Some days I think that most people, if they took a look at our lives, they would know that we are crazy. I am nothing close to normal, living a life of homeschooling mother of 4 soon to be who knows how many, with hidden disabilities to boot. Are we crazy...yep! Will it be hard, or is it for that matter!...yep! Is it right...yep. As I watch this video by Francis Chan, it is an amazing reminder of what I am living for. What will my comfort and easy life benefit me in the end? Is that what I should seek after? Will my King say well done? Or is it possible that he calls us to something more? I would like to think so. In fact, I believe He is calling us to more than just getting through this life happy and "blessed". His call on believers is different, and yet the same. Take up your cross daily and follow Him. Your cross may be different than mine, not everyone is called to this crazy road. But where ever you are at, live in light of eternity.

A Healthy Reminder

So we are on a crazy new journey, one in which we are endeavoring to adopt a child with disabilities as well as welcome many more to our home through fostering. All this sounds noble and good, but when you get right down to the nitty gritty, sometimes it is just plain hard. Sometimes I think if we were adopting a child with some type of physical impairment or obvious mental disability it would be easier, I might find myself more patient, more kind and understanding. Hidden disabilities are difficult. So hidden that others might not see them and I forget that they are there and my expectations become unrealistic. I was reading a lovely blog today and came away so encouraged and inspired to see my boy through different eyes...
