I remember when we were trying to make the decision whether or not to adopt Josie I was an emotional wreck! It seemed every song I heard, every time a heard a sermon or read Scripture, God was speaking to me - straight to my heart - I just didn't know what He was saying. It was a good place to be but exhausting! I read a lot of Scripture during that time and for me the book Isaiah really hit home. I was reading Isaiah 40 today and after I read your last post thought I would pass that along to you. I am especially encouraged by the last couple of verses of Isaiah 40.<BR/><BR/>"The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."<BR/><BR/>It was while reading Scripture that God spoke to me and revealed Himself to me. In fact after reading and praying over Isaiah 58 (an altogether chunk of Scripture) I felt confident in the direction we needed to go with adopting Josie. I think you know the outcome!<BR/><BR/>I truly feel God is speaking to you and you are listening. He will reveal Himself to you. Thanks for posting!<BR/><BR/>Shelly N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
