The Reason for the Season

Have you ever asked God "why"? For some reason, this year I have become especially curious about how Mary must have reacted when she found out that she'd be giving birth in a barn... with livestock! Did she ask God, "why"? I don't know what the cultural norm was back then?? Who knows? Maybe it was typical for a family to bed-down in a stable if the inns were all full? Maybe women gave birth in stables on a regular basis and it was not a shock to her? I just don't know. But I am approaching this post with the idea that it was not in Mary's plan in any way, shape or form to give birth in a barn. I have thought about Christ's birth over and over as we've celebrated Christmas each year and the significance that there is that God chose for His Son to be born in a lowly stable, but never has it dawned on me with such intensity as this year how Mary must've felt about it. She had just been delivered an amazing message that...

Congo

Calvin and I want to ask for your prayers. If you read my post from yesterday, you know that we've been praying about where God wants us to adopt. One of the locations was Ethiopia, and the other is from D.R. Congo. For some reason, I felt the Congo on my heart, but after talking with the project coordinator for Congo at Lifeline Adoption Agency a couple weeks ago and finding out that their Congo program was on hold for the time being and then discovering that many other agencies had put their Congo programs on hold, I thought that maybe God had closed that door. Today, after praying more and not feeling released from pursuing the Congo further, I did an internet search for Christian adoption agencies and looked for agencies that had programs to Congo and after making one phone call, I found that this agency (All Blessings International) has an open program to Congo! And, not only did I get to speak to a program coordinator, but the Executive Director of the ag...

Double Arches of Promise

A few days ago I wrote about some promises that God had made to Cal and me... Since then, He has confirmed those promises through scripture verses, "coincidental" occurrences that just-so-happen to blatantly point to the promises God made to us, and a deep knowledge that His plan will ultimately come into fruition. With such an obvious movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives, the evil one can't help but take notice and he is, as always, attempting to chop down our tree of hope and inspiration. I wish I could share with you what these two promises are, but as of yet, it is still too early. Romans 15:13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." With the devil taking his best shots these past few days, it's all we can do just to remain in a somewhat upward position and hang onto our hope of ever seeing God's promises come into full bloom. Today t...
