Blessed

I can't even begin to describe how blessed I feel right now.  My phone rings off the wall some days, is blown up with text, or Facebook messages, all of which are people offering to help, have something they are getting rid of or know someone is getting rid of something and just wondering if I need it.  God uses all kinds of people to provide for his children. 

God is amazing. He has shown me how he takes care of his children through the last 4 months, how no matter what he is always there for you (yes, even when I mess up all the time).

This verse has really stood out the last 4 months, when we really did not know what the future held for us. I mean, I still don't really, but some of it is more clear, I at least know I am adopting.  When and all of that I do not know!

This is the verse we have clung to:
"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." Jeremiah 29:11

I have known and heard this verse for a very long time.  One night when D was really struggling with the future for her, and the possibility of moving away, I shared it with her.  She has taught me how to cling because as much as I was worried about the future, it would not affect me like it would her.  I mean, I would of course miss my two brats so much, but I would still be able to contact them.  I would go back to being a single woman, living alone.  They would go to a far away place where they knew no one, and their life would change. 

I sit hear with tears, just thinking about what we have been through.  In a short 4 months, but how much God has been there with us.  The 15th will make exactly 4 months since I got these two, that I have learned to love so much. 

Okay, I have to end this blog, so I can get myself together before they wake up!
