how will it all work?

My mind is running, planning, thinking, how will this all work?
Mainly, what changes and affects will this have on my family?

My biggest concern, safety of my children.
Bringing teen aged boys into a house will small children, honestly seems crazy to me.
To big of a risk. Why put your children in that position?
Locked doors
protection dogs for each of the kids
that is what is going through my mind.

I naturally tend to have a fear of most people that are not like me. Growing up in northern MN I ended up being very culturally sheltered, there just isn't a large variety of people there to be exposed to.

But I have to come back to, if God has told us to do this, he will provide and he will protect.
Justin and I were talking about these concerns and fears. I said "maybe we should wait until the kids are older"
So he said "close your eyes, what do you see?"

I see a farm, a garden, horses, lots of horses and animals, and I see my kids being little kids, learning from the older boys and teaching them at the same time. I see all of this taking place with small children.

And so, that is my answer. More trusting God, more having faith that he will protect and provide.
