First 'official' class

Week one of our MAPP class was last night.  Talk about being overwhelmed!  It's a good overwhelmed, though.  The reality that this is really happening is sinking in and so many emotions are filling my head and heart!  Over the next two weeks, Todd and I will be filling out over 100 pages of a family profile, including pictures, stories written by our boys (well, a picture drawn by Logan)  a letter to a future foster child, letter to the parents of a future foster child, how family and friends are reacting to our desire to foster/adopt, details of our childhood and how we currently run our household.  It's pretty intense.  It will be a great time, though, for Todd and I to spend time together and reflect on our priorities and vision for our family.  We will have our first home interview in about 3 weeks.  I am so thankful that we have some friends in the church who are further down this path than we are.  They have been and I'm sure will continue to be a great comfort and encouragement to me.  Please continue to pray for us as we continue the classes.  Specifically that we can finish this profile on time.  Thank you for your prayers!
