keeping it all in perspective

Despite my previous posts on croissants and anthropologie, i have been pondering some more serious things in life lately. on sunday night sol & i went for a walk & talked about coming up with a family vision. i can sense that we are at a turning point in our lives, having been married almost 5 years now, and about to start the adoption process. after listening to dr. steve’s sermon about our weakness being an opportunity for God’s strength, i immediately thought of our infertility as one of those “weaknesses” where God can really work. i usually think, why do we have to be different? why can’t we have kids like everyone else? but, i have to remember that this weakness is a chance for God to show his power and for Him to be glorified. i started thinking of all the other weaknesses we have in our lives, in our ministries, in our families, and thought about how they keep us humble and depending on God. All of our prayer requests are weaknesses where God can demonstrate His strength. Have to keep reminding myself of this and trusting in God to provide.
