With this said, here is a little transparency for you: the enemy has been trying to discourage my heart this past week. You would think that since we have the most amazing friends and family supporting us in this crazy journey by ordering t-shirts, buying etsy pieces, serving us in many ways, and praying fervently for us, I would be constantly encouraged. But, the enemy knows when to strike and what to attack.
The past couple of weeks have brought us another $1,000 towards our goal, but Satan is good at making me see the glass as half empty instead of half full. "Yes it is $1,000 but you still have triple that towards your first goal. Not to mention your next goal is huge! ($22,500!!) Is this possible? Did you and Todd hear correctly? Can God really provide THAT much money that quickly? This money is due soon!! You won't be ready."
Oh how quickly I am to desert all of the confirmation, scripture, peace, excitement that The Lord has placed on our hearts. God has been nothing, but faithful and yet I waiver at the lies the devil feeds me.
Well, God is also constantly patient with me because He has picked me up once again, taken the weight of my worries and fears once again, encouraged me once again. He is at work. This adoption IS His plan. Many of His children have already shown us His love and provision. Even if things are not happening in my exact timing, He is still good.
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Philippians 4:6
