Worries

     As you know, we have a big fundraiser coming up on the 26th. We have been super busy planning and organizing this event and are blessed with great friends who continue to help us! We have thankfully had some items donated but the rest has come out of our pocket. This BBQ is costing a lot more than we thought it would! I have been praying that God will bless our efforts and that we can at least make back what we have spent so it's not a complete loss.
     Well, as I've been praying about this fundraiser, God spoke to me through His Word. In Proverbs 19:21, it says "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."  I'd been so busy praying that God would bless this fundraiser the way I want Him to bless it when I should be praying His will be done because it is always best! God might have something totally different to offer us at this event! He might put someone there who needs the Lord that we can witness to, He might bring someone who is adopting who needs our help, the possibilities of what He is up to are endless! He has done great things at past fundraisers, so we shouldn't expect anything less at this one. So, like it says in Philippians 4:6 "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." I am going to stop worrying about the "what if's" and just Trust God. I know He will provide the way to bring home our child, if not from this event then by some other way. He has provided so far and I know He will continue! Not by our efforts, but because of who He is!
Sometimes the journey is just as important as the destination! :)
