Timely Verses

God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. ~ Isaiah 12:2

"If we believe in God's promises, then we don't need to be afraid." These were words from Hope's evening devotional the other night (1/18). Granted, the story was referring to being afraid of the dark or strange noises, but poignant still? I think so.

And, the Proverbs 31 Ministries daily devotional two days ago was called "Listening to God." Renee Swope wrote, "Like Jesus, we will discover God’s purpose for our lives through dependent hearts that seek to listen to His...."

What is going on? What is this knock upside the head? This happened to me during our first adoption too. I know I wrote several times about how as we walked through the adoption process there were lessons sprinkled all over the place about God's master plan. Well, it's time for another lesson. Time to let go. Time to open my heart and mind, and to remember that God's got this. He knows our future child. He sees our family as He has designed us to be.

Trust Him.

Works every time.

(So God? If we could just speed things up a little that would be great. Thanks, Beth)
