Impossible, Not with God!



I was so encouraged by my devotional this morning. It was based on Luke 8:25, which says, "Who is this? He commands EVEN the winds and the water, and they obey Him?" The devotional was entitled "Even". It focused on how God controls every part of our lifes. There are no storms that He cannot calm, no forces He cannot direct. Everything, weather and politics and human nature, are at the beck and call of our God.

I have so much peace about Giovanni's adoption. Maybe it's because we've done this before. Maybe it's because my faith is deeper having walked through this process with Samantha. Maybe it's because I believe in a mighty God who can command the central authority and PGN and every part of the Guatemalan government. I know, that I know, that I know, that He has asked us to take this journey again. I know, that I know, that I know, that He is faithful. I know, that I know, that I know, that He has a plan for the lives of each of my children, including Giovanni!

Today, I'm praying for those friends of mine who are caught in the storm of confusion and misinformation that surrounds Guatemalan adoptions. May you know, that you know, that you know, that God is at work, even when we can't see it. Today, may you strike the word "impossible" from your situation and look to a God who makes all things possible.

Blessings,
Amy
