The list.

I've been challenged to create a list of the reasons why I am doing this. This list felt like it would never grow. I had my doubts that anything positive would never come to pass. At first I thought I am doing this because I am crazy or hitting a mid life crisis. But soon through the wisdom of my prayer team God started opening my eyes to the real reasons I am doing this....

1. I have a heart for kids.

2. God called me to it

3. Just as I am adopted by God as His child I need to show the same grace to these children.

4. To see God's salvation through the eyes of my son and the kids in our home that he wants to reach for Christ at only almost 4 years old.

5. Being there as the Holy Spirit enters and gives new life to my kids. I may not have carried them inside of me nor been there for their earthly births; but I was there for their new birth in Jesus Christ.

I am sure there are many more reasons that I can not remember right now and many more to come but for now this is a great list that I cherish!
