Overcoming Fear

I know that I'm blessed so that I can be a blessing. That's more than just a cliche. But if I never step out in faith, afraid of what might happen, I miss His best gifts.

I think adopting from Ethiopia is a big faith step and I greatly admire each of the families we're working with. They are trusting in God's timing as they wait to bring their little one(s) home. They aren't playing it safe. I know there are times of wondering if they have what it takes. If everything will go well. If they'll ever get those kids home! They are pressing toward a very high calling, believing that God will provide all they need to parent these precious children.

Jennifer, at Conversion Diary, is a favorite blogger of mine who very eloquently puts her faith journey into words I relate to. The post linked below is a great description of the contrast between life lived in carefully guarded safety and life lived with trust in the supply of our mighty God.
