God tests our faith...

Today we got some bad news that we owe quite a bit of money on our taxes.  You can imagine how bummed we are since we are trying to put everything we possibly can into this adoption.  We do of course have to pay it because there is no way around taxes.  They really know how to bring down the small business with these taxes!

As I sulked around the house thinking about how this is money that we could be paying our agency to bring us closer to adopting children, I remembered something I learned in my small group last week.  We are learning about faith and doubt.  God is always testing our faith.  He tested our faith with this calling to adopt.  At first I had no idea how we would do it!  Then I stopped thinking about it and had faith that God would handle it and we are moving forward at an awesome pace!  

So God has given me the victory over doubt when it comes to this adoption.  Then we get another financial blow and I know God is testing our faith.  So I will choose not to doubt his perfect plan.  I will trust him completely once again to bring us the remaining $5000 we need in time to make it on the list.  What an awesome feeling to lay this at the feet of Jesus!
