I also thought about a verse which seemed to make me question whether we were truly called to adopt.<BR/><BR/>My husband and I sought the council of one of our associate pastors and he was the one who suggested that we look back at the times in our adoption journey where we could definitely point to and see God's hand at work. He suggested that we hold on to those moments. Thus the setting up stones began in our home.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, after a few days it dawned on me that the devil also tempted Jesus by quoting scripture, however wrong he twisted it. God is not the author of confusion and His word does not contradict itself. I'm so thankful that God has opened your eyes to His beautiful words and you have defeated the enemy.

You are so right! You saw how God provided a VERY large amount, in a VERY short time for us. It wasn't the whole amount at one time, it was exactly what was needed at that particular moment, sometimes to the penny. Many times I would ask Him to please just give us the whole amount so that we wouldn't have to worry anymore, but He assured me that it would all be taken care of in His perfect timing! He wanted us to trust Him and He wanted to provide a way for our faith to strengthen. Boy, did it ever! I, too, was very embarrassed by not being better prepared, but we weren't and now I know why! We learned so many valuable lessons! I thank God for them often!<BR/><BR/>I love you,<BR/>TraciTracihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605578406595756494noreply@blogger.com
