There have been times I have
heard "I could never do what you are doing." These types of comments make me laugh (ok, sometimes smirk).
Are you kidding? I
can't do what I am doing! It's
only by the grace given by God which equips all of us to walk in obedience!
There's a saying/expression that says something like "don't be content to live on warm fuzzies from other's lives."
The world seems to be full of these contented people. While I'm the first in line to hear, read or watch a good, "warm fuzzy" story, in reality I really don't want to rest in admiring God's work in someone else's life! I want to experience all my Father God has in store for me and our family!
Many of you have read or heard me say that Jesus has our "yes". While putting our yes out there is T.O.U.G.H. (and at times I want to withdrawal the yes) what you have to know and believe is that with that "yes" comes provision for anything and everything we will ever do in obeying King Jesus. I can promise you that. I've seen His faithfulness firsthand over and over again. Take Him at his word!
"If you do not believe that grace is enough, then you are not seeking the Grace Giver... because desperate seeking of Him leads to grace and more grace."
I loved this post Kimberly! And I completely identify - God has been so faithful to us so far in our adoption journey. What an amazing feeling to know that, no matter our shortcomings, our God is so gracious to give us what we need when we need it!
