Trust Him to Make a Way

This was sent to me in an email today (Thanks, Ruthy!!) and it is so fitting to my life and what I am going through right now, I had to pass it along - maybe it'll speak to someone else the way it spoke to me.

Trust Him to Make a Way


TODAY'S SCRIPTURE

"Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God"
(Psalm 20:7, NIV)

TODAY'S WORD

Sometimes, it's easy to get discouraged when things don't go your way. Maybe you aren't getting out of debt as fast as you wanted. Or you're experiencing some challenges in your health or relationships. We have to be careful not to put God in a box by thinking that just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it isn't going to happen. Remember, we serve a supernatural God. When we believe, all things become possible!

The first step is to quit trying to figure everything out. There may not be a way in the natural, but that's okay. God can do what men can't do. Think about the children of Israel. When they left Egypt, there were two million of them. Then, Pharaoh came chasing after them, and when they came to a dead end at the Red Sea, it looked like it was over. They couldn't see a way out. But that didn't mean there wasn't a way. God simply parted the Red Sea and they went through on dry ground.

Remember, if it looks like there is no way in the natural, trust God to make a way. He'll part the waters if He has to! He'll do whatever it takes to lead and guide you in the path of victory that He has prepared for you!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, I trust that with You all things are possible. Today, I take my eyes off my circumstances, and I choose to put my trust and hope in You. I bless You and thank You for Your faithfulness. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

**I am hoping to get some cards and scrap booking done soon, but have not been in the mood to do anything lately. I plan on getting my scrap area organized and then getting lots accomplished!**

Our Loss

After months and months of ups and downs, our journey to what we thought was the answer to our prayers has ended. We are not able to adopt the little angel that we have gotten so emotionally attached to, since July 25th. We do know that he was born on January 9th and that he is perfectly healthy! James and I are devastated and are trying to find the silver lining in this, though it is NOT an easy road. We are blessed to have so many people around us that love us. I know that we will get through this but for now, it feels as though our world has crumbled around us. We appreciate the continued concern and prayers and we ask now that you pray for our "Ryan" as he is in the foster care system - we ask that you pray for people to take care of him and love him as much as we do and we also ask that you pray for continued strength for us, as a couple, to be able to get through this terrible time.

I found a poem online that I thought was appropriate:

They Say There is a Reason
They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal,
But neither time nor reason,
Will change the way I feel,
For no-one knows the heartache,
That lies behind our smiles,
No-one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried,
We want to tell you something,
So there won't be any doubt,
You're so wonderful to think of,
But so hard to be without.
