Let It Go

Have you ever raised your hands praising Jesus? At church, home, mission trip, conference, just giving HIM all glory? It is the most amazing feeling. Let me just tell you!

I can remember as a 5 or 6 year old sitting in my grandfathers very small, very southern baptist church on the back pew. As he was preaching, very powerful and loud during sermons might I add, the older generation would yell out and raise their hands. I very quickly squirmed in Mom's lap nervously thinking something major was about to happen. Well major things were happening! Only I didn't start feeling it til much later in life. I am always so moved by our music at church. Week after week I lay my problems at His feet but Sunday mornings I have that opportunity to sing to Him about all He has done for me, us. When I close my eyes and feel that moment and hear those words naturally my arms raise. Arms raise and the tears flow uncontrollably every time! The weirdest thing. It reminds me of a Pez dispenser. You pull back the head and out shoots candy! :)

Next time you are at church, home, trip, anywhere giving Him praise try lifting your arms. It gives you a feeling like you are letting go of all and giving all to Him.

With that being said, we are constantly praying for patience. Please pray with us. I am really working on letting it go and giving it all to God. This is His plan and His timing so no need to be anxious.

I spoke with our case worker last Thursday and she said within the week our Home Study would be finalized and we begin the immigration process. We have already received lots of items for our yard sale. Thank you!!

I'll leave you with a picture of some anxious girls ready for a new little one :)

Much love,
Sarah
