And as is true with God...He is ever faithful. Never changing. Always the one to make concessions. After writing the last post, I spent a bit of time sitting in a parking lot in front of Raleys talking with a very dear friend. And, of course, what scripture did she share? Oh yeah, the one about Peter. Getting out of the boat. Of course.
A few days later, she mentioned the scripture again saying, "I didn't even use that scripture in my talk..." The conversation continued, but I knew she had that scripture just for me.
I am so sure because right after that conversation. Right after I realized that I might be asked to do "a Mattie" again. Right after I knew that God was asking me to trust in Him NO. MATTER. WHAT.
We got the call. Can we pick up a little boy? By 5pm? (Yeah, it was just after 4 pm.) I had to make the decision that instant. "Yes." Yes we will open our hearts to another one who needs us. I don't pretend to know how this will turn out. I don't believe God has given me any promises regarding this child. I only believe that He has asked me to do this in Trust - in Him. The decision was easy. Why would God need to teach me that lesson if He didn't expect me to apply it.
All I know right now, is that my answer to my God is YES. I trust Him to do the rest. And I am excited to see where it leads! Look! I am out of boat and standing in the rain! NOT. GETTING. WET.
