Prayer, a reminder of our need for God

Tomorrow marks 4 months that we've been fostering our little ones! We are amazed at how time has flown and by how much they have grown and changed in that amount of time. It's hard to imagine life without them (did we really used to be able to go out whenever we felt like it?!!). And I'm pretty sure up until 4 months ago, our living room never looked like this.


Tomorrow is also significant in that the hearing to terminate parental rights is tomorrow morning. If rights are terminated the birth parents have 60 days to appeal. In the meantime we will be able to start the adoption process. It is just another reminder in all of this of how dependent upon the Lord I need to be. The first few weeks that was really easy to see- I knew beyond a doubt there was no way I could survive without the Lord. As we adjusted, got into a routine, and things got easier I find myself far less dependent on God's daily sustaining grace.This hearing is a reminder of the reality that God is in control, not me.
I am so thankful for this mornings sermon on Luke 11:5-13 and the excellent reminder from Pastor Danny Lee to trust in God's goodness to give us His best. When we pray we are reminded of our dependence on God. While I cannot wait for tomorrow's hearing to be over, I am so grateful for the opportunity to be reminded of just how much I need the Lord. Please join with us in praying for tomorrow's hearing, we are excited to see how God works!
