Philippians 4:6-7

Five years ago, I helped put together a devotional, specifically for fostering/adopting moms. Never would I have imagined that five years later, I’d be re-reading the book as part of its target audience. This week I’m sharing the thoughts of my friend Tonja.

You’re amazing!” “The world needs more people like you.” When I respond in ways that challenge those statements, I’m typically presented with lots of myths about foster care. Let […]

May 2, 2019 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

I recently heard this statement and decided it’s the best way to describe how I feel about a lot of really important issues: Where there’s a WE, there’s a way.
