GOD IS SO GOOD!

Well this week has been an adventure! God is soooo good. Our church has a motto, "If you step out in faith, God will provide." It's so true. We sometime doubt the power of God, how he can change things, provide funds, open doors, heal the sick, and sooooo much more. We have seen some of these miracles this week and in our lives lately!

God has provided miraculously for both Rich and I to travel to Sierra Leone, that is about $4000 each!! And he has provided for every single penny of our adoptions costs. He is so good!

We sat in church at the prayer meeting on Wednesday night and the presence of God was so powerful, Pastor Curt didn't even get to his prepared sermon. We spent the majority of the evening in prayer, "Prayer changes everything." I can't mention on here what happened but it was an absolute answer to prayer. All the hurdels with our adoption haven't been completed yet BUT we are one step closer!!

Monday we will travel to St. Louis to do the final fingerprints for the USCIS approval of our adoption. This is the first step we need completed before we can start the adoption process in Sierra Leone. :)

As I type this I sit listening to What Faith Can Do by Kutless, the lyrics to the song are so true! We have seen this happen this week, here are the lyrics:

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds

You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise
