Stepping Out in Faith

Not a lot going on this week.  I'm gathering some pictures to post for part of the dossier.  Last night I realized that our birth and marriage certificates HAVE to be issued no later than 1 year ago.  SO...I had to order new copies.  It was a little aggravating as I thought I had pretty much everything ready and waiting for authentication.  We have to divide the dossier in 3 different parts and send to 3 different states because each notary's seal needs to be sent to it's own state.  Confusing, I know...


We will need about $6,000 to complete this step.  So far the Lord has provided most of it by donations and raffle.  It blows my mind when I think about that.  I've never put my faith in anything so earnestly.  When I think about how much more I will need, I still get nervous even though I have seen His work thus far.   Crazy, isn't it?


This entire journey is more than I can emotionally grasp.  When I take a step in faith, not sure exactly where to place my footing, He provides a path.  One that is safe and is confirmed for me in some way.  Even when doubt creeps into my mind.  Sometimes I will think 'What am I doing?  What am I thinking? Will he be happy here?  Will I love him as much as my other children?  What if I can't get him to understand me?'...But God always confirms my original intent, and again I am refreshed in my thinking.


Hopefully, the rough draft of the home study is sent to me by next week.  Everyday I almost run to the mailbox waiting for SOMETHING!!  lol


Thanking God for ALL of you reading,
