He is Enough

Dear Friend,

You asked, in working so closely with children has God helped me not feel the pain of not having my own Someone whom I love and who loves and respects me, of having my own children....

I have come to the acceptance that in life we do not get all we may desire that is natural and right. Instead, I focus on the amazing gifts God has given me, the astounding responsibilities He has entrusted to me, and rest in His loving sovereignty that He is not and will not withhold anything good. The more I abide in Him, the more I find exceedingly abundant joy in the moments and days He has given. I watched 40 come and go and grieved my probable losses; but, I learned that He and His love for me were not only Enough, but were my Spring of Joy. Out of this flowed contentment which found satisfaction and delight in that which He had already placed in my hand. I look at this adventure and the next with excitement, knowing the Lover of my Soul is and will provide all the good that I need.

Growing with you in Him,
Heidi
