God is with us. . . .

  So yesterday I was worrying and panicking about our adoption. We are waiting on our answer as to whether we have been accepted into a certain agency and my stomachs been in knots all week.  Anyway I sit down to do my daily devotional and this was my verse
 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
                        2 Timothy 1:7
  The worry didnt instantly poof go away, but in with the worry came a sense of peace in knowing that the God of the universe has His hand on our application. That doesnt mean the answer will be yes, but that He will work all things out for our good. 
 
    And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
                                               Romans 8:28
What can give us more peace than that?? We are so thankful that God is allowing us to start on this journey and we know that He will be with us for every step, even the bumps and setbacks He will be there.

 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”                                         Joshua 1:9   

                       
Psalm 68:5-6
A father to the fatherless…is God in His holy dwelling.
God sets the lonely in families….
