Well said Sarah. Sometimes the situations in life that suck and hurt really bad are hard to accept as being God's will. There are plenty of verses that are NOT "coffee mug" verses as Matt Chandler says. They are not "feel good" verses, but they reveal God's real LOVE and character. This LOVE of God is so foreign to our concept of LOVE that it is hard to understand. But, then again, the cross and the depth of love that Christ died and suffered and BECAME sin is unfathomable. What incomprehensible love. Love that hurts and results from pain is unfathomable, but once you REALLY get, it is amazingly beautiful.<br /><br />LOVE you guys!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094409493121986804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7114567281547196356.post-44220542733793681812011-08-25T14:15:27.187-05:002011-08-25T14:15:27.187-05:00Beautifully written. I sometimes think about (as ...Beautifully written. I sometimes think about (as I'm sure you certainly do) how different these boys' lives were 2 months ago. The difference is astounding. They now own their OWN bike. It's a small thing, but so vastly different than what was. They were cared for before but now they are FREE, free to roam your home, free to make mistakes and still be loved, free to communicate, free to just BE. Makes me think of how we find our freedom when we are adopted by the Father. And certainly, it's a long road to Him for some of us, but it's definitely His will! Yes, I've pondered similar things just watching your lives. God is so good!<br /><br />I've got so much more to say but I'm too wordy!
