Calling all prayer warriors!!
Have you all seen 'Horton Hears A Who'? Imagine the scene toward the end when the son of Mr. Mayor Who, I'm really bad at remembering names and scenes in movies...sorry, had that gadget that made the final noise go up and out of Whoville so the jungle could hear the Whos....before they got dropped into the boiling goo because of the kangaroo...
Ya, that scene. I always picture prayer acting like that. When people, kids and adults alike, are so thick and hard, prayer is the only thing that can finally blast through and make hope and love heard.
So let's talk hard stuff for a minute. One of the reasons people don't want to foster and be involved. Plain and simple. It's hard. It's overwhelming. Some really ugly behaviors happen. Peeing on the floor. Not eating. Overeating. Picking paint off walls. Biting. Obscenities. Manic. Depressed. Manipulative. Foul language. Mean. Breaking things. This is some of the ugly. Sometimes when kids get to this point...they are so hard that all the love and niceness isn't enough. Can you even imagine living like this?
I know people who have foster kids like this. This is the tough of the tough. They need prayer so badly. So today I'm asking anyone who reads this to take a quick minute and lift up these kids. These foster parents. Please pray for them. Let's be a united voice like the Who's pounding on the windows of heaven interceding on behalf of these people and kids.
I am enjoying your blog. We can relate to some of the things you share about. We are foster parents. :-)
