Nothing Is Wasted: A Foster Mom Journey from Infertility to Joy
I know we’ve misused Romans 8:28 enough to give it a bad rap. However, it remains a beautiful reminder that nothing is wasted in God’s economy. My guest on UnPerfect today is sharing the story of her foster mom journey from infertility to surrender to God.
Episode #158: Nothing Is Wasted in God’s Economy: A Foster Mom Journey
My guest today on UnPerfect is author, adoptive and foster mom, Kim Patton. She is an adoptive mama to two young daughters and a foster mom to wild, rambunctious, and hilarious teen girls who have stolen her heart since 2024.
She is the author of the Foster Mama Journal and Nothing Wasted: Struggling Well through Difficult Seasons. She knows the pain of infertility and loss of dreams, but shares the hope she finds in following Jesus into unexpected places of joy and peace.
Difficult seasons catch us off guard and make us feel like life won’t ever make sense again. On our worst days, it’s hard to believe that God will guide us through the mess. Even on our good days, when we feel we have done all the right things, we may wonder:
Why am I working this job? Am I making a difference? How do I know the way to go? Why can’t I seem to be content?
In Nothing Wasted, we see how we mature in time. Like fog dissipating, we recognize how God is gently leading us through each season of our lives. We may be struggling, but we are moving forward.
Our faith is not unseen. Our moments are not wasted. All the pain that comes in these seasons does lead to a full, rich life, growing in relationship with God and with others
As always, I’m in this with you, each UnPerfect step of the way…
