first, i'll be thankful.


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...
