Preschool is kind of on hiatus. Megan had finished her Little Hands to Heaven, but I don't really want to begin Kindergarten yet. So, she has been filling her time with lots of playtime, being read to, and educational games on Mommy's Nook Color. I am amazed at the phonics she is picking up from the games.
Life has been pretty stressful the last several months as my husband and I continue to try to help my step-daughter adjust to life in our home. Actually, it isn't living with us that is requiring much adjustment. It is dealing with the issues of her past and stuff she went through.
After much prayer, I have decided to blog about what my husband and I are going through and the journey we have been placed on. While I have to be careful about details and names, I feel that God is pressing on me to share... in order that others might be helped. I one day believe my step-daughter will have a testimony that will help lead many to repentance. However, right now, it is sometimes hard to see beyond the next challenge and the overwhelming feelings.
It was recommended many times that I should write a book about the situation we find ourselves in and what we have dealt with. However, I don't feel led there. I want whatever I write to be glorifying to God. That means, to me, that He has to be in it. If He is in it, others will be helped and maybe even led to repentance.
I will warn you, the reader, that the issues I will be discussing will be sensitive in nature at times, even though I will gloss over the tougher points. However, God has us on this path for a reason. That reason is to reach others in unique ways.
Joyce Meyer once said that, "You can't have a testimony without a test." The tests we have lived and are continuing to live are difficult, but not without purpose. Even though it feels as if we are alone in our trials at times, we know we have God. We also know that, statistically, our story is not as uncommon as we might have originally thought.
