Well, not very well some days. I feel caught in the tension of being a witness and coping with reality. We did "bring this on" ourselves but to NOT do it would have been disobeying God and THAT would be worse/harder. I'm convinced. <br><br>I am prone to pity parties as well and some days I just wish for a little support and understanding.Sure, #9 could have stayed with the other foster family but would that be right to separate these brothers from their sister? Sure, our life would be easier (relatively) without a 4 month old. <br><br>This life that God chose for us is not comfortable. You are right. Thanks for your post. It encouraged me.Jennifer Phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17163074611400802619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4503332495929092276.post-80977468124693364992010-03-12T19:29:06.030-08:002010-03-12T19:29:06.030-08:00Hey Rebecca!
