That thought has been rolling around in my head the last couple of days. God cannot have a "plan B"! Us Gentiles were not His plan B. He was going to adopt us all along. The law wasn't plan A and Jesus being crucified plan B, it was what God knew would happen and had planned from the beginning of time. Just like He knew Caleb would be in our family from the beginning of time.
Anxiously awaiting our LOA (letter from China). Hopefully by next week. The waiting is getting harder. But plenty to keep us busy. Can't believe our silent auction is in 2 weeks!
God is still letting us know that He is in control even when there is so much craziness around me. Extended family issues, issues with kids, car issues. He is wanting to know where my faith lies...
God has also called me to do something I didn't really want to do. One Sunday after church someone asked me to pray about speaking at our women's brunch. HUH?! Me?! I really wanted to say no right away, too much already on my plate, things going on. Then the next night at BSF of course we are going over the passage in Isaiah where he says " Here am I, send me." And the fact that only God can make our words worthy. Ok God, I hear you! Another lady and I will be talking about adoption. I'm happy to have the opportunity to talk about something I'm becoming very passionate about and hope to inspire others to care for orphans in whatever way God is calling them to. But very nervous too!
I'm a huge fan of Steven Curtis Chapman. His family is certainly part of my inspiration to adopt. Here is the chorus to a song "I Will Trust You":
"And I will trust You, I'll trust You, trust You God, I will, even when I don't understand, even then I will say again, You are my God and I will trust you."
May I continue to trust is His perfect timing!
