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.
“For whatsoever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.” – Romans 15:4
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” – 1 John 5:14-15
“The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfill the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them.” – Psalms 145:18-19
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” – Romans 8:28
