Strength

God is Sovereign
He is in control of all the details in my life.

God is Loving
He is going to be shaping the details of my life for my own good.

God is all Wise
He is not going to do everything I want, because I don't know what I need.

God is Patient 
He is going to take the time to do all this for me.




Finding it hard to deal mentally & emotionally with some of my experiences.

Staying strong in my Faith and through God.
Please keep the Children and the care that they receive in your prayers.
Also pray that the Lord may continue to guide and strengthen myself and the other volunteers in all the work that we do each day.

Thank you Xx

    Oh Carmsy, Will keep you in our prayers. Just think that what you are doing, not matter how little you think it is, is making a huge difference. We often want to do more, or want things to be different for the kids we care for, sometimes we can't and we have to let go. Doesn't mean not caring for them, or bringing them happiness, we just can't be their everything. if that makes sense ?? Just keep up all that you do, take one day at a time. Focus on the now and make the moments count.

    That is all that God wants of us. The now.

    love you lots. and I'm so very proud of you!

    Oh Camen, Don't let it get you down, Every spoon full of food you feed a child, every hug you give makes a difference. As a foster carer I also often feel how you are feeling. Am I making a difference? Am I fighting an uphill battle that will never be won? Then I take a step back and try and look at life through the eyes of a child, love unconditionally and don't try and change the world! Some of the problems are too big for us, just give it your best while you can. YOU ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE! Stay strong and don't let the homesickness get too you. Remember, every hug you give, every 5 minutes of attention you give is making a difference!
    Take care hun,
    Love Claudine

      Thank you for your kind words Claudine, you pretty much summed up exactly how I am feeling. Is hard not to think about the future of these children put your right, just have to look at the now! Thank YOU!

      much love Xx
