Blind Faith.

Right now, my life is being led by blind faith.

There are many choices that we are making that may or may not make sense to others. I have been questioned about what provisions I have to add other children to my family. I have been asked the silliest things that do not pertain to the situation. I am asked and questioned by those who matter most to me - friends, family and some church family.

My blind faith keeps me going.
I know that everything is going to be OK.

A couple of nights ago, I was talking with Eli and we were discussing how one choice or action can effect someone else's life forever. Forever. Think about the power in that. So many excuses could be made - Have I been through the teenage years? No. Will children have to share bedrooms? Yes. Do I have enough room in my van? Almost. Do six children eat alot? most definitely.

What comes to my mind is this: These children deserve life. and love. and stability. and laughter. and chances. and choices. My house has life, and love, and stability and lot and lots of laughter. We give choices and chances.

On the other hand, I am encouraged by a select group who tell me that it is going to be OK. God promises to take care of us - with food, shelter and clothing. He is there when we are stress over a situation. All we have to do is put Him first. Dave is our strongest supporter. Many times over the past weeks, he has told me, "It will work out." Plain and simple. Another lady from our congregation called me last Monday. Her words were also plain and simple. She was outright - straight to the point. She asked me what would God have me to do. I told her, "He would have me take the kids." She replied, "Well, there ya go. Have a good day." And she hung up.

This is why I have blind faith. I am thankful for prayer, a purpose, and direction.
Remember, "Here Am I, Send Me."
