Last night my mind was running through all of the paperwork for adoption grants yet to be applied to, then to all of the paper work yet to be filled out when we apply to agencies, then to all the paper work that I don’t even know about that will likely happen after being matched with a birthmom. As I was mentally picturing all of these papers yet to be filled out and all of the papers that we’ve already done, well…I felt tired. Then I thought, “Isn’t there an easier way?”
God instantly brought to mind Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, staring into the cup of God’s wrath that awaited Him as He looked ahead to the cross. And He pleaded,
Beautiful, and so true!
Blessings to you and your family this Easter!
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you, Diane. Oh, to remember these truths on a moment-to-moment basis!
Wow. Thank you for this post. I’ve been pleading with God for an easier way, so this was quite timely.
This is such sweet encouragement as we too are walking through the adoption process – and at times are so overwhelmed by the eons of paperwork that seems to never end!!! Thank you for bringing my heart back to the CROSS . . . beautiful words!!
What a wonderful post to read on this Good Friday. Thank you for the fresh reminder of the Gospel.
I testify to God’s work of grace in Katie’s life. It is a privilege to have seen her learn these precious truths and now be able to encourage others in them as well!
Praise God!
