The Call

I'm laughing as I type the title to this post for that is exactly what this journey has been, a calling from God. From time I was in my early 20's I've felt nudges about things to do and I never doubted what those nudges were. This has probably been my biggest nudging, perhaps kicking, but ultimately the calling that I felt was what God had intended for my family. Praise God for putting Todd's heart where he would join me in that call. Thanks to our homegroup for their prayers.

Monday morning I'm taking Camille to the doc for a headache. Its not her eye sight so he wants to do a head scan & sinus scan. Yes, I am scared. While we are in the doc office, Todd calls and says that he answered the home phone because Covenant Kids was calling. That Todd answered the home phone was a miracle in itself. He said after listening to the description of the 2 kids, it was evident that this was more than we were ready to handle. I flopped back and forth about it but ultimately knew he was right. Took Camille for her scan that afternoon. She is a champ. "Best lil person" the technician has ever seen and only subjected to a tiny amount of radiation. Left the office, dropped Camille with Todd, and went to see the middle school counselor. I was thinking on my way there, I could probably use a good visit myself with a counselor today. Talked with her and she agreed to kick Madeline's rear into action for some papers not turned in. Well, not really, but she did have some suggestions. Got home and Todd, in typical fashion, had papers to be mailed out by 5 that had to be printed & notorized. I'm rushing to the notary when I get "THE CALL". Can we take a 4 year old girl? A brief description & I say yes. The girls at the accountant's office are the first to know. Todd doesn't answer his phone so I give a text. At 5:30 I'm told that it might not work out. At 7 I'm told they will be there at 8:15. I don't even panic. I am so ready for this, and hey, I can do a 4 year old girl. I get the cookies in the oven, Camille is asleep, and we wait.
