Alone

Just when we think we are alone, when we think we have to figure it all out by ourselves and we find ourselves barely even strong enough to stand as we peer at the end of gravely road leading no-where… God steps in and reminds us we are not alone. Sometimes it comes in the form of a song on the radio. Sometimes it comes in the form of a poem or scripture verse. Sometimes it comes in the form of a letter with words of encouragement from a friend.

But sometimes it comes in the form of a team of teachers willing to go the extra mile to put a formal plan in place to help an adopted little girl (and her family) that is struggling so much to find success at school not just with academics but with speech and social aspects as well. Today we are not alone.

Prayer: Lord, I am overwhelmed with gratitude. You knew we needed a tangible reminder that You have placed the orphan in a family and have not left us alone to figure this all out on our own. Thank you for so many people around us that are willing to help love her and love us in the mess of life. I praise You for all that You are doing… and are still yet to do!
