An International Experience

As mentioned in my last post, I have a big announcement. And no, the announcement is not me being pregnant, because I'm not! But it does have to do with kids :) James and I have had interest in being foster parents. When I switched jobs and started working for the state in Child Protective Services I was told we are not allowed to be foster parents because of the security clearance I have. About a month ago we were asked by a church member if we would consider being a host family for an international student this coming school year. She explained there was a girl from Germany who did not have a host family yet. We, of course, said we were very interested and filled out the applications, did an interview, etc. Well, last week we found out we are officially hosting this coming school year! We are both so excited for this opportunity and look forward to getting to know this girl. God is good and opened a window after a door was closed. I am sure there will be lots of posts about the fun we will be having this coming year.
