10/10/10

I started this blog to document our adoption journey and then to make it into a book for Calvin later. I couldn't pass up the opportunity though to praise God. We have had many changes in our lives with changing schools unexpectedly, leaving our church and find a new one. Through these changes God has shown us that his plans are better than ours. Yes I do miss my old church, mainly because of the familiarity. I still have the same friends, and we get together for play dates, so nothing has changed there. However, we took a huge leap of faith to join a church plant and it seemed it wasn't going anywhere. We would find a school, building to meet and it would fall through. The launch date for our new church was to be 10/10/10 but we postponed it because we could not find a place to meet in the community. Needless to say, God provided a building for us 10/10/10. We met last night for a pot luck and we had 54 people. Some from the community but mostly from the mother church who is planing the church. We are excited to see how God is working in our midst. There are so many more stories I can tell you how God has moved and place us exactly where he wants us. Change is scary, walking by faith is scary but it is better to walk in faith and obedience knowing God will always be there with us leading the way. Brings me back to my favorite verse 'Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.' Also the verse about God being a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Praising you Lord for your faithfulness and keeping your promises.
