I am STILL Lord

I felt God tell me this as I cried this morning at church - "I am STILL Lord, regardless of your feelings, your circumstances. I am the same yesterday, today and forever." It has been a weekend full of emotions for me, and one where I just haven't felt like myself. I'm not as strong as it may seem, I realized, but where I am weak, He is strong.

On Friday, we found out that Leila's adoption has been put on hold. The relationship between The LINK and Good Samaritan Orphanage is incredibly fragile, and until this is resolved, they will only focus on one adoption at a time so as not to ruin the chances of any of the children being adopted. I am grateful that at this point one adoption will move forward, and especially grateful because the family are friends of ours. But I'd be  lying if I said this situations didn't infuriate us - that someone could be so selfish to take power that is not his to take and make decisions that are life-altering and not at all Christ-like. I don't know if this orphanage director knows Jesus, and I'm not one to judge that, but I do pray God grabs a hold of his heart and changes it. At this point, that is literally all we can rely on - God changing him. I've seen God do it - cure people from addiction, bring Atheists to Him, reconcile relationships that seemed impossible to reconcile. So, I'm believing. And we need you to pray and believe, too. We will not be discouraged. We will not give up hope. He is STILL Lord of all.
