Another Challenge: He is Enough

This has been an incredibly humbling day.  The Lord continues to teach Shawn and I that we can only rest in Him and nothing else.  He is teaching us that the only person we can rely on is Him.  We can not put our faith or hope in anything but Him.

This morning He was preparing me for yet another trial in this journey.  Our nanny quit with no notice.  The contract stated 8 weeks notice was required because of how hard it is to find someone to care for Nathan's needs.  I have literally a half of a day of leave left.  Our jobs are put in jeopardy by the selfishness and dishonesty of one.  I am disheartened by the lack of integrity, and that one's word has no value.  Those are human reactions.  Those are human thoughts.  I must rely on the Lord.

To our amazing Father this was not a surprise.  There is nothing that can happen outside of His plan.  On the radio I was listening to a sermon this morning coming home from dropping Isaac off at preschool about Paul and the book of Romans.  Little did I know that it was exactly what I needed to hear for what was to come later in the day.  He talked about Paul's faith, and how we are going to have trials.  Even in the trails Paul ministered about the amazing depth of our Father's love, and nothing can separate us from his love.  God is there in every circumstance.  With Christ's strength, we can do ALL things.  And in every circumstance, God is enough.

So I am saying now, even though my heart is grieving for my children having to go through change yet again, God is enough.  Man will always fail us, but our heavenly Father never fails.  I will not put my hope in man, but in my God.  So even though I do not know what may lie ahead, I know God will provide.  I do not know what tomorrow brings, but I know who God says I am in Christ.  All else pales in comparison to the promise and hope that I have in the Lord.  Even though my heart is hurting, even though there are so many unknowns, my burden is light.  I have put my hope in Christ.

Please pray for our family as we struggle with another change and a lot of unknowns.  Pray for this to not have a negative effect on the boys.  Pray for God to provide someone to care for Nathan and Isaac's needs and to love my boys.
