I have a knack for finding myself in impossible situations- especially here in Haiti.
(Roadblocks, fundraising, beating poverty, preventing orphans, becoming a family, etc.) I realize I am often facing mountains immeasurably taller than my five-foot stature could ever stand. I often come face-to-face with giants and Goliaths of my day who are so much stronger and more powerful than any courage I could ever muster. I nonstop come against problems and complexities deeper than the ocean itself, and my solutions are more the grain of sand size. Depressing? -Sort of. Overwhelming? -Definitely. Impossible? -Not so much. Impossible is where God likes to begin. I am sparing you the long stories and sappy feelings this post- I just want you to understand you are NOT ALONE in your weaknesses. God is in them too. He hangs out there so that we might shine His immense Glory all the brighter. Whatever you're up against today- cancer, hardship, loss, or whatever else Satan is intending for evil; whatever it may be I promise God will use for GOOD. (Romans 8:28 For God causes ALL THINGS to work together for the GOOD of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.) I know this is not brand new to you- but a fantastic reminder to us all. Every time you find yourself in these impossible scenarios start praising God for the way He works in these times. Praise Him through it and trust me, the miraculous will become your reality. He makes ways where there are none. He allowed David to slay Goliath. He moves mountains. He provides my needs. He provides a way through roadblocks. He sets the lonely in families. He creates new hope for impoverished families. His ways are not my ways and His solutions are higher than mine. Trust Him to make the impossible become possible. Join me in trusting and holding each other accountable to chin up and move forward. Join me in living messy and real when we face trials and tribulations meant to tear us down. This journey is done so much better together <3 Facing your own issues?

Therefore since we have been made right in God sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.
