“There are three ways to ultimate success:

The first way is to be kind.

The second way is to be kind.

The third way is to be kind.”

— Mister Rogers

My heart has this longing I cannot fully explain. It’s been there for years but it’s gotten stronger and stronger in recent months. I know it’s something that not everyone is interested in or called to do. For me, it’s a desire in my heart, an ache in my soul. A part of me, even though I have no idea what it will look like. Before I get too far I’ll just explain what I’m talking about.

Caring for children in need, through fostering and hopefully…adoption.

”Break my heart for what breaks Yours.”

That prayer has been stamped in my heart, my soul, my mind….for years. It’s the cry of my heart. God calls us to care for others in need. And not only do I feel like just simply obeying God, but I have a desire, a longing, to love others, especially the innocent, the broken, and the vulnerable.

What does this look like in my life? Opening my home, and my heart, to the ones that need it the most. Foster children.

I cannot deny it anymore.
