are you kidding?

i almost had to laugh... not because anything is funny... but because the enemy is FIGHTING US SO HARD to keep our kids!  do not be deceived this adoption IS a fight between good and evil...

in the Bible in 1 Peter 5:8b and 9a, it reads... "... Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  Resist Him, standing firm in your faith,..."

i believe the enemy LOVES the idea of picking on the weak and oppressed, those feeling alone and abandoned... well it has got to be stopped BY US, GOD'S PEOPLE!  when we allow God to set our agendas and let His love pour through our behaviors... the enemy is STOPPED IN HIS TRACKS!!

the enemy CANNOT thwart God's plans, however, he does use those of the world to cause frustration and irritations... thus our story :)  one more hump or hurdle that the enemy has thrown in our way... using those that are not on the same side we are, to cause more delays in the process... one more piece of paperwork has seemed to be neglected... and we just have to sit and wait for it...

please hear my heart on this... GOD IS IN CONTROL... the enemy may use his imps to cause delay, but understand GOD HAS A REASON that He is allowing it... and HE WILL USE IT ULTIMATELY FOR HIS GLORY!!

so we wait... BUT not idly nor passively... the enemy has picked on the wrong girl... this two year battle has spurred a fight in me like no other!!  GOD IS THE VICTOR AND ONLY IN HIM IS THERE HOPE!  ALL deserve to know of this eternal glory... not way down the road, but NOW!!  NOW IS THE TIME FOR GOD"S PEOPLE TO ACT!!!

i am blessed WAY BEYOND WHAT I DESERVE!!!  God has given me more than i could ever have thought up or imagined... not because i did anything but because HE IS GOOD!

but it is my choice what i do with it...  so i choose to share... my blessings and the love that has been lavishly shown to me...  we have a house full of love to share and a story to tell like no other... ONE OF A CROSS AND A COMMITMENT AND AN ETERNAL LOVE... the story of JESUS!!  we will tell all who will listen...

so as the enemy tries to delay once again... it only causes the voice of the Newsom's to grow stronger... we will shout about the love of the LORD and HIS COMPASSION for the weak and the small and the picked on... we will choose again and again to help ours as well as others to find their way home... not just here on earth but FOR ETERNITY!!!!

an anonymous quote i've shared before but i will again end with today...
     "It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters; it's the size of the fight in the dog."

God DID NOT give His people a spirit of timidity or fear!!!  come on God's people we need less complacency and fear and lots more fight in us... won't you pray about getting in the battle!!!
