What happens if you step out in Faith?

It allows God to work in a ways you never even imagined!! As we were reminded of this today I keep being reminded of the verse in Matthew 16:20 "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there and it will move" Nothing will be impossible for you" God is truely amazing to prove just the faith of a mustand seed, have you ever researched how small a mustard seed is? It is one of the smallest seeds known to man.

Here is what particularly we are refering to for our family. Since my trip in May and Rich's trip in Sept of last year we have had William on our hearts and really felt God "Pushing" us towards adopting him but really battled with it and just kept saying "Maybe, but not now" It's not "Our" perfect timing in all this. Well in December we both felt a peace about what God was stirring in our hearts, "ADOPT WILLIAM TOO and DON'T WAIT!!!" So we made it official in December and decided to adopt him too. Here is what happened after we said YES!!! God provided one donation the day after we said Yes. The very next day we were informed of a small adoption related expense and that donation helped cover that.

 Currently we are saving and preparing to bring the boys home soon and adding a second adopted child does add some extra fees. We received word today that we have been approved for another adoption grant that does not have to be matched, we are half way to our estimated remaining expenses goal now!! Isn't God truely amazing. I am speechless at his love for the Orphans, (I mean not that I don't know this first hand :) But he LOVES the orphan and when he calls you to do something he WILL provide for it. No mountain is too tall for him!!

I am writing this post to encourage you to Step out in Faith for whatever you need to step out in! This is a phrase our Church lives by and honestly we have seen it happen in our church and the ministries there but never this boldly in our personal lives! God has called each of us to step out, to go, and to give!!

Psalms 145:13 "The Lord is FAITHFUL to all his promises and loving toward all he has made"

I just want to thank each and everyone one of you, wether it's been prayer, donations, support, etc... As we go thru this adoption process. God is working in a powerful way and I can't wait to see all he has for us this coming year!
