this morning i am overwhelmed. there is much going on in our home in regards to fostering and adopting (yup!). i trust God...it just all feels complicated and a bit messy (and i really don't love complicated and messy). before i jump in to trying to make sense of things and sorting stuff and diving into paperwork, i am going to be thankful. I'm going to spend time with my Faithful Father who sees it all and knows it all - He sees the end from the beginning. He knows how it's all going to work out - and I trust Him that it IS all going to work out. somehow, someway.
2 songs that He is using to minister to me...
