Fear, Doubt, Obedience, Peace

This pretty much sums up the last two weeks for me. I started to have fear about the cost of the adoption. I feared the medical issues we may face. I doubted that we were doing the right thing. I had many conversations with God about the decision to adopt. But when I heard myself say, "But God, I'm content with the way things are." I knew that I was being deceived. I knew that I must repent of my fear.

The Bible says, "The LORD is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

Once I repented and acknowledged my fear before the Lord, I knew what was being asked of me. And just as soon as I again began the journey in obedience, I was once again consumed with peace. Sweet peace that passes all understanding. Thank you God for your patience with me when I am weak and for your forgiveness when my faith is smaller than a mustard seed.
