For the past few weeks, I’ve really been wrestling with the question of timing. The full battle is enough material for a whole other post, but suffice to say that I gave God an ultimatum this Monday. (I always feel like such a sinner when I do that, but God has repeatedly worked miraculously in the face of my defiant demands). I basically said, “Lord, if I am supposed to do this now, I need a clear sign from You.” And then Monday, through a circuitous set of circumstances, I came upon this video. I watched the Introduction and was galvanized for professional ministry. I watched Chapter One and the decision was made.
Watch it. Watch the way the shutters behind their eyes slam down at the phrase “foster care.” Watch it and pray that God will open your eyes to ways He wants to use you to help them.
I have not been a Christian for very long (just five years), but I am certain of one thing. When you pray, earnestly, that God will break your heart for what breaks His, He will.
“How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings…” Luke 13:34
