From my personal journal on November 6, 2013:
Working on adoption education today and this really spoke to me from Michael Monroe:"The challenge is to hold our expectations loosely, always willing to surrender them to the One who has called us to this amazing adventure. And as we let go, we find that God's desires for our family are so much greater and better than what we ever expected!"
This is so true......... for families, marriages, couples, friendships, singles, dreams, goals.......any of us! Let go of our human expectations and follow HIM! Surrender to Him and blessings will abound! But, we do not surrender to gain blessings but because He has asked us to obey, to take up His cross and follow. Abraham, David, Daniel, Ruth, Paul......you, me. Each one of us has been commanded to obey. Sometimes in the tiny day to day decisions and sometimes it is in the great, life changing decisions. Each choice to obey God, honors HIM! God's desires are greater than our minds can comprehend!
I Corinthians 2:9
"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love Him." Amen!
