Hello Friends...
Joy comes in the morning!!! I have been listening to some of my favorite praise music tonight and I have been reminded after a LONG day.....that "Joy" my friend is in the Lord! He is with you when your faith is gone.....! Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Wow!! I am thankful that I personally know a God that wants to see me prosper! In life there are hills and valleys, and sometimes craters, but God already knows the outcome. When we trust him with our lives and give him full control he will direct our path. He sees my tomorrow and the day after!
He knew when those two boys in Latvia were born that I would be there mother!! That overwhelms me......and reminds me of His mighty power. I cannot help but think about Jesus' powerful words when he said, "What you do to the least of these my brethren you have also done unto me." There is a beautiful song by Lauren Talley called "The Broken Ones". Listen to it on U-Tube, if you have never heard it.....it will truly bless you! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who share in the journey of adoption. You are precious in His sight. Join with me today in Praising the Lord!!!!
Love,
Penny

ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouraging words! It is so amazing to think that when we were being formed in our mother's wombs God had already planned for us to mother our children. Watching God's eternal plan unfold really does bring great joy!!
