B R E A T H E . . . .

So much is happening all at once, & I feel like I can barely breathe the past two days.  Our family is facing incredible changes.  Ones that will take us away from the place we've lived for 20 years; from family, close friends, & many adopted kids :[  It means starting a whole new life in a brand new place.

I cling to God's promises:

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. 

Isaiah 41:10 - So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Psalm 34:4 - I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble.

Psalm 118:6 - The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

Matthew 6:33-34 - But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

How do you pack 20 years up in boxes & say goodbye to people that mean the world to you?  The ones who support you on the super hard days are suddenly going to be so far away.

After My Dear Friend, Marianne prayed with me this morning, I realized it's because Jesus is our VERY Best Friend & no matter where we go He will always be there with us.  We just have to have FAITH:

F-antastic

A-dventure

I-n

T-rusting

H-im 

Jesus - Thanks for always being there for us - no matter where we are in life.

If you need someone to pray for you, please leave a comment on this post.  Please pray for the Lord's perfect will in the life of my family.
