God's Promise

"Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' and to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth."   Isaiah 43:5-6

I Will Follow You

Let the Waters Rise - Mikeschair

Don’t know where to begin, It's like my worlds caving in
And I try but I can't control my fear, Where do I go from here
Sometimes it's so hard to pray, When You feel so far away
but I am willing to go where You want me to, God I Trust You

There's a raging sea, Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in, Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise, If You want them to
I will follow You, I will follow You

I will swim in the deep, Cuz you’ll be next to me
You’re in the eye of the storm and the calm of the sea
Your never out of reach, God You know where I’ve been
And You were there with me then
You were faithful before You’ll be faithful again
I’m holding Your hand

There's a raging sea, Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in, Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise, If You want them to
I will follow You, I will follow You

God Your love is enough, You will pull me through
I’m holding onto You, God Your love is enough
I will follow You, I will follow You

There's a raging sea, Right in front of me
Wants to pull me in, Bring me to my knees
So let the waters rise, If You want them to
I will follow You, I will follow You

Loaves & Fishes

I must be honest.  I'm feeling very discouraged as I look up at this new mountain of continued fundraising, and wondering how this little stack of grant applications can equal what we need to complete our adoption journey.  So glad that when God is in control it has nothing to do with my feelings, but everything to do with His ability to do whatever He wants.

I am being reminded of what Jesus did with the 2 fish and 5 loaves.  He fed over 5000 people and there was 12 baskets full when they were done.

I hope this is the Lord's still small voice reminding me to trust Him.
