Meant for me

Do you ever get the feeling the sermon was meant just for you? I feel that way often and today was one of those times! Even during worship, the lyrics of one of my favorite songs spoke to me once again:
"God I look to You, I won’t be overwhelmed
Give me vision to see things like You do
God I look to You, You’re where my help comes from
Give me wisdom; You know just what to do ..."
You see, we are to a significant point with our adoption process-ready to have our profile shown and commit financially in a big way. I have been really struggling with fear and doubt-mainly to do with money. Todd and I have always tried financially wise, and it scares both of us to make this commitment. I want to know exactly how we are going to pay for everything and that we will be able to afford it all after we adopt. My sweet mother-in-law used to tell me, Andrea, don't worry so much about the future that you miss today." This is one of those times I wish I could talk to her because she helped me "enjoy today!"

Well, our church has been doing a series called ARISE and today's message was Arise to Abundant Living-Rising Above Today's Economy. Here are the 2 points I need to remember: Listen to God. He owns it all and God has a good plan, so don't worry-instead believe. It was like a burden was lifted off my shoulders. I don't have to worry about it because God has a plan. I just need to believe.
