Memorial Box Monday- Our God is Faithful.

I am constantly reminded of God's faithfulness lately. He is faithful in both small and big things, all the time, even when I don't "see" it. The Word says that He is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is a God that never changes. That is such a refreshing thing to remind myself of when I can't even seem to make up my mind about what I want to eat or wear on any given day. With everything we have going on right now with our brand new adoption process, our house not selling and our NEED to add on if we're indeed staying here, and Robby's very, very expensive student loans about to enter the picture, I have started to worry about finances for the first time in about 4 years. It's so worrisome to think of how tight things could be for us very soon. I have also been having anxiety over the home study we'll be having in the near future, over the questions the social worker will ask my family and I, how we'll appear on paper to the people that are overseeing our adoption, etc, etc, etc. There are all of these thoughts and concerns and questions looming over me lately and it's enough to drive someone batty. But at the bottom of it all I know that we are called to "father the fatherless" (Psalm 68:5), I know that we are called to defend those in need, and I know that God is in this and is taking care of the necessary steps to make it all happen.

Just a couple of nights ago I was talking to a friend about adoption. She asked me how Robby and I will pay for all of the expenses involved and I responded, "I don't know yet. I'm trusting and believing God. Something will happen. He called us to this, He'll bring us through it." Then I said aloud, "I believe you, Jesus. I believe you." And what happened next? Literally immediately after I spoke those words I looked down at a website that was up on my laptop and I read this:

"Commit thy way unto the Lord; roll thy way upon the Lord, so the margin reads it. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, the burden of thy care. We must roll it off ourselves, not afflict and perplex ourselves with thoughts about future events, but refer them to God. By prayer spread thy case and all thy cares before the Lord, and trust in him. We must do our
duty, and then leave the event with God. The promise is very sweet: He shall bring that to pass, whatever it is, which thou has committed to him."


What an AMAZING, beautiful, faithful God I have. He never ceases to blow my mind.
