Dependant Upon God

For truly, I say to you,

if you have faith like a grain of mustard seed, you will say to this mountain,

‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move,

and nothing will be impossible for you.”

 Matthew 17:20

It is our prayer to be completely dependant on God.

What does that mean?

In the same way that Jesus was dependent upon the Father, we now have to learn how to live dependent upon Jesus Christ. It is only as we surrender ourselves to Jesus and allow Him to live in and through us, that the work of God is accomplished in the world.

This is the way that God has chosen to work. There is no other way. In the same way that 2000 years ago God the Son walked upon this earth in His earthly body, today He walks upon this earth in us, in Christians. We are now the body of Christ here on earth. We are the vessel through which God's truth is poured out upon humanity.

 It is only as we learn to allow the Holy Spirit within us, to guide us into a dependent relationship with Jesus Christ, that our thinking begins to align with that of Gods. This is a process, a painful process at times, for we are stubborn and stupid, and we cling to that which we have always known and done.

Powerful life changing words!

As of last night, one mountain has been moved

and we were able to share our faith in the process.

 Praise God!

Our home is rented for the next two years

with the option to buy at the end!

In a sea of mountains, a few small ones

have been moved regarding

the adoption process.

It would be too lengthy to explain

but very thankful that

God is working in me

and through me.

If God is for us than who can be against us!!

God Can Move Mountains

I've struggled a lot the past few days.

It can be overwhelming to think about all the obstacles we have ahead of us.

Obstacles that only God can move.

I want to completely trust and rely on Him

not only through this adoption journey

but with my whole life.

Not an easy thing to do...

I want nothing more than

to stay in the center of God's will.

Right now,
nothing is going right...NOTHING!

We have no money.
We don't even know if Chad will have a job in a month.
We have been in negotiations with our current neighbors
about renting/buying our home and things are not looking good.
We found out today that we will not be able to send in our LOI
 until our home study is complete (6+ months)
and I don't know if our agency will let us hold his file that long.

So to make things clear we may be broke and jobless,
our renters are backing out, and we don't even know
if we are going to be able to pull this adoption off.

I want to have faith.
I want to completely trust Him.
I want to be dependant on Him.
I want His name to be glorified.

Lord, I lay this at the cross and put my trust in you.
A look back and a little chuckle... why do we get ourselves worked up so much?
Nothing is greater than His plan!
Chad was rehired, the renters signed a two year lease with us,
and God has provided the money needed thus far.
May I continue to come back to this page throughout this process as a reminder
that all things are in His hands.
