Submitting to Gods will for us
When we begin an adoption journey we submit ourselves to a process, which enables us to bring the child home. We submit ourselves to someone else’s opinion because we have to have a home study created by someone else who judges our motives, our character and our means. We submit ourselves to God’s will for our lives even when others would deem us irrational. Yet we submit. God does not call us to become part of the crowd. He does not ask us to go with the flow. He asks us to submit to His calling on our lives whether it makes sense or not. Noah building an ark on dry land made no sense yet he submitted. Abraham sacrificing his only son made no sense, yet he submitted. Mary, was chosen to be the mother of Christ which she must have known would submit her to others ridicule, yet she submitted when she said “be it unto me according to Your will.” She submitted. And so do we. God gives us strength to continue to submit to His will even when it’s not easy. Proverbs 3:5-6 says: 5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Shawn and I are submitting to Gods will with the adoption of our new baby girl, He placed her in our hearts and life, He has already provided some of the financing and we are trusting in Him to provide the rest as we submit to His will for us.
