Life can change in an instant!

It is amazing how fast life can change.  This past Saturday my Husband and I made a decision that has certainly changed the dynamics of our household!  We now have an 18 year old young man living with us full time.  He is a friend of my step-son and was in foster care.  His foster Mother kicked him out and for the last 4 weeks he has been staying with a friend here and there and even spent some nights on the street.  He had only the clothes on his back and a backpack :(  It was an easy decision for us, how can we let a kid sleep on the street!?!  It has been a big adjustment, having to more bedrooms etc. around.  Although our two boys, Jacob (5) and Noah (2) act as if he has been here forever and has always been a part of our lives. Jacob has such a giving heart for a five year old anyway, he often invites various servers to stay with us :) And when we have spoken about orphans in the past he always responds with a "Mommy, we can be their family".  Keith and I have often talked about the possibility of becoming foster parents and maybe this is the push for us to go in that direction.  I will imagine that this young man will only be with us about a year or so.    He has gotten a job and wants to finish high school and attend college.  I hope that we can make a positive difference in his life.  Change however it comes, fast, slow, expected or not is not always a bad thing.  Here is to making life more exciting!
