Yesterday upset me a little (see here), but it's over now. I apologize for any whining in yesterday's post. Remembering that God is in control is not as easy as it looks. Also, reminding myself daily that everything I have is His isn't too simple either. God has provided so much for us.
Matthew 6:19-21
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. NIV
19-21"Don't hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it's safe from moth and rust and burglars. It's obvious, isn't it? The place where your treasure is, is the place you will most want to be, and end up being. The Message
We have spent a great amount of money in our journey to become parents. It's hard not to visualize that number and think of all the other things you could have done with it. Yesterday, I was selfish; there's no other way to explain it.
Thank you, God, for providing for us.
Please help me to see all of Your blessings
and build up my treasures in You
and not earthly things.
Beautifully stated. Those are things I try to focus on during my IF struggles too - definitely easier said than done. I just keep trying. : )
