So we are about to go meet our adoption agency's in-country coordinator to go to our first appointment and meet Elora! Heidi just handed me her Jesus Calling, Sarah Young devotional book. The April 15 entry is no coincidence...
Trust Me, and don't be afraid. Many things feel out of control. Your routines are not running smoothly. You tend to feel more secure when your life is predictable. Let Me lead you to the rock that is higher than you and your circumstances. Take refuge in the shelter of My wings, where you are absolutely secure. When you are shaken out of your comfortable routines, grip My hand tightly and look for growth opportunities Instead of bemoaning the loss of your comfort, accept the challenge of something new. I lead you on from glory to glory, making you fit for My kingdom. Say yes to the ways I work in your life. Trust Me, and don't be afraid. - Ref. Isaiah 12:2; Psalms 61:2-4; 2 Cor. 3:18.
Here we go!!! :)
I read the exact same devotional today too and immediately thought how fitting for you guys! So glad you brought that book! God knows what He is doing!!!!
