Thoughts and ponderings....

Good morning everyone! Since I just got home from work it is evening to me still but you get the drift! Sitting here thinking tonight of a dear friend who recieved some tough news today about their child. Sometimes we wonder why is life so hard? Or when will it get easier? The most important thing to hold on to is knowing that God ALWAYS has a plan. We do not always understand it but there is a plan in everything, the good and the bad. God will be there to walk us through every situation if we just hold onto Him! I know that is exactly what my friends are doing tonight. Clinging to a Savior who will never leave them or let them down. What a joy that is to know He is always there! If you can lift up a prayer for them, God knows who they are....

I sit here also thinking about a child half way around the world that would complete our family...is it fair that for whatever reason her parents are unable to keep her and she will end up in an orphanage? Is it fair that it costs so much from a paperwork standpoint when there are so many people willing to help? No it is not fair and it never will be. I have no idea where all the funds will come from but I can tell you we are working and praying about it. When our princess prays and dreams aloud of her little sister to be I know in my heart God is listening. She is so full of innocence, it is truly precious. She knows it will take a lot of dollars as she says but she is full of faith and knows it will happen and believes it will be soon. Oh to have the faith of a child....so that is what I have decided to cling to, I may even have to lean on her child like faith a little and remind myself, God will provide. The money will come. We just need to be faithful about it. Sometimes those steps in faith are the hardest.

So I will leave you with my favorite Bible verse tonight...
Jeremiah 28:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
