My Boy...My man child...My Journey to my Zachary

Well dear readers on December 3rd, 2010 at 7PM we became foster parents of a beautiful three year old child of God....Zachary. The name Zachary means "the Lord remembered" and He sure did. It was a blessed Christmas and I have really been on cloud 9 (most of the time). He is such a good boy and fits so well into our family. The rest of this blog will be about him and what God is teaching me through him (too much to write already).

Being a foster mommy is a lot harder than I expected. Not parenting hard....got out my books, time out chairs, potty stickers, etc. As a former Kindergarten teacher...I know the tricks! The hardest part of being Zack's momma is the small (but ever so big) barrier that is guarding my heart....to love him like hes mine. Hes not mine...but he is for now! Will he be mine forever?......Only my Father in heaven knows. God keeps reminding me that Zack is His child and He has a perfect plan for Him. He reminds me that Hannah is His too and He has a plan for her. He could take either of them tomorrow.....my job is to love them today, hug them today, play with them today. Teach them about Him today because if I do this.....they will be mine for eternity!
