The Lord Cares For Her

Jesus tells his disciples that their Father knows even when a sparrow falls from a tree. How much more than does he care for his children? Little Siddhi has been placed in foster care which means she will receive 24 hour one on one care. She will be fed constantly and feel what it is like to be part of a family. Her foster home is very close to her orphanage and the doctor's office. The director of the orphanage has so much love and care for these little ones--she really is amazing. Pray that Siddhi would begin to gain weight. Also pray for her foster family.

Isn't our God sovereign? Isn't he in control of all the details no matter how big or small? Aren't you blessed to know that chance, fate or mistake has no bearing on our God's great plan for all of us? The Lord is teaching us to let go of our fear. I have a lot of fear to let go of.

The tragic loss of my 16 year brother Mark in 1993 wounded me in ways that I am just discovering. I have lived in fear since that horrible night--before than I was more or less fearless. Jesus tells us to Fear Not! Jesus tells us to not let our hearts be troubled. Our great God is the only one to be feared. I am learning to let go and let the Lord.

There is nothing I can do to speed up the harvest or teleport myself off of this rock (America) and over to another (India)--to quote a young farmboy. Rather, we take comfort in knowing that in God's perfect timing we will meet our little daughter, adopt her into our family and let her experience the love of a family and her heavenly Father--who is sovereignly watching over this little sparrow.
