out of it

I really am not sure what to write this morning. I didn't get much sleep last night, not due to the kids - well the ones who have been born anyway. I'm going to try and watch more what and when I eat today so maybe tonight I won't be dealing with the acid reflux so bad. I read Romans 5 this morning and there is so much in there that I don't feel like I can get my head around it to pull out something. It's all so very wonderful. The kids aren't awake yet, so I think I'll go lay back down.

all things

And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Rom 8:28) He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things ? (Rom 8:32) all things - greek word "panta" (forgive the laziness in not using greek manuscript) I remember Lance preaching about this. He said that the word used meant literally "all things". Big things, small things, spiritual things, normal things. This is a good word to remember. Especially in the midst of this pregnancy. God is interested in using all aspects of my life to conform me more to the image of His Son.

cast off the slave chains

I just can't get out of Romans 8. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" I woke up this morning with thoughts of God's sovereignty on my mind. The fact that He controls everything and will let nothing go further than He has decreed. He is a kind and loving Father who I can trust. So, I don't have to worry about the events of today. Though I can't always trust other people to do the right thing (or even myself for that matter!) or put my confidence in 'things' today - I can put my confidence in my heavenly Father and rest in His adoption of me as a child. So, no need to put on the slave chains of fear again - let me just remind myself of who my Father is.

settling in

There was a time not so long ago when I did not think I would ever be writing these words....and especially not so soon. The Lord has again been very kind to us and even in the 2 months since we have been here has already started to knit our hearts to some of the people at our new church. To be honest, I'm simply amazed. I'm almost astonished to be writing these words, but it is the truth and I worship God because things that we can't orchestrate He can and is. The words formed in my mind last night to tell Don "Thank you for bringing me here" and while I can't quite go there yet, I did honestly say "I'm glad to be with you." We are getting really good teaching at SW. Our kids are doing great and loving church. Our "care group" is phenomenal even though it is really, really small. We are getting to know those in it and Tom leading it is just an amazing blessing to us - not to mention that he really knows where we're coming f...
