God's Purpose

I (Gary) wanted to also share a few thoughts that I feel God has been putting on my heart over the last three weeks.  I know that at least for me I have felt tremendous peace the last week or two.  I am supremely confident in that God will only give us as much as we can handle. 

Not that I/we are wishing for such circumstances, but we feel confident that God will provide for us physically and emotionally through this process.  I also look forward to the process (as hard as it will be) and know that God is going to bless my son with a tremendous story no matter what happens.

We have been reading a few other blogs in the process and that has provided tremendous hope for us; reading through the process and the emotional roller coaster that will ebb and flow.  I have been amazed at how someone living a 1,000 miles away, whom we have never met, can have such a profound impact on our life.  If you have eight hours and want to read about a tremendous family, knock yourself out here.  

It's funny how in church I constantly hear about life circumstances that families go through and wonder why I never felt like life had been that hard for me.  I am sure my faith will be tested beyond comprehension throughout this process and to be honest, despite a few hard initial days, this has been easy thus far because there is nothing we can do right now except lean on my relationship with God and trust. 

2 Corinthians 12:9

New Living Translation (NLT)

Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.
