What to do........

So after I got laid off I was upset for about a minute and then I had to think really hard about what to do with myself. I did some major retail therapy but you can only shop for so long(did I just say that?)
Anyway, I kept soul searching about what I was supposed to do with my life. My previous job was very stressful but I was comfortable there. Getting laid off actually made me have to think for once. I have heard people say that they feel "called" to do something. I always thought that was crazy. But folks, I came across a website in my many hours of surfing the web and it just hit me. The website was adoption.com and there was a photolisting of all of these kids who are being put into foster care. Kids who are victims of neglect and abuse.
I kept trying to figure out what I was good at. I always thought of myself as a person of many talents but a master of none of them. But one thing I think that I am good at is being a mom and taking care of children. So hubby and I have decided to become foster parents. There is a posibility that if it all goes well we may eventually be able to adopt but right now there are so many kids who need homes and we can at least help out a few of them. We have applied and we have started the training courses. While we would like to have another child of out own in a few years I truly believe that this is what we are supposed to do. I guess you could say I feel "called" to do it.
So I will continue with my witty blogs you guys have grown to love but there will be some seriousness along the way as we make this journey.
I hope that we will have peoples support in this. It is a big step and to know that our friends support us is important. We will keep you posted.
