Sorry if I'm driving you crazy with my "I can't believe this is my life" statements. I should not still be in awe of this, but I didn't plan for this, didn't see it coming, and I can't help but continue to marvel at my home full of children from baby to adult.
Often I'm weary, sometimes I'm discouraged, and if I go down the path of "what if's" I can become fearful. God assures me that He is working out His good plans for all of these dear ones that I love - and for the children of the future He might put in our home.
God continues to remind me to breathe and take one day at a time. It is THE ONLY WAY. Funny how the "do not worry about tomorrow" command has always been in the Bible and I've always known about it. Yet now is the time that the truth and beauty of obeying and trusting its promise becomes such a lifeline for me.
No matter our circumstances, why DO we worry about tomorrow? Do we trust God or are we trying to hold on to control that isn't ours?
Lord, we surrender. We trust you, we need you, and we humbly accept the truth that you are God, you are the I AM, and you are powerfully and beautifully in control of our days.
