I scanned back and forth down the page. A lump formed; eyes no longer able to contain the moisture. The overflow releasing, sliding...the drops, clear pearls resting on my keyboard.
The young boy was soon to be left alone in this world. A mother, slowly letting go of her fight; her body...slight and weak, cancer overtaking.
The words called for prayer, help and God's will to stir and move the heart of someone to take him in.
Blurred, wet eyes fixated on the dot...the period signaling the end of the email.
I climbed the stairs; incredible urgency to reach the safety of my room. I needed release...the tears to freely flow. The words moved me, heart and soul...beyond my plans, my worries, my selfishness. I prayed for the boy. I prayed for his mother. I prayed for the right family to open their home. God's will.
I shared it with my husband. We prayed and prayed and prayed. God's will. We took steps of faith, moving and waiting. Gods will. After several phone calls, visits and constant prayer, the doors slowly began to open. One by one. With each door, fear of change, less us time momentarily filled our minds...but we stayed the course, always praying, God's will.
That Monday morning email changed my heart. God's plan is bigger and better than my plans. We await the final process; a young boy, alone, now to become a part of our family. God's will.
When God puts things in motion and asks you to move, touching your heart and spirit to the very core of your being, take the steps. Walk it out. He will open the right doors and shut the wrong ones. We worship a God who parts the sea, shuts the mouths of lions, makes walls crumble, brings the dead to life and sets captives free.
What has God been putting on your heart? Take a step of faith and trust Him...God's will.
"Who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched
the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness
were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies
of the aliens. Women received their dead raised to life again..." Hebrews 11:33-35
"God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us." Hebrews 11:40
"Wherefore we receiving
a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may
serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: For our God is a consuming fire.

Finding Lost Treasure
The man slowly scanned back and forth across the sand. Large gray headphones covering his ears as he intently listened, waiting to hear the noise signaling he'd found a buried treasure.
I've recently noticed a rise in the amount of people with metal detectors at the beach and parks. These high tech devices enable it's owner to detect any traces of metal (coins, jewelery, gold, silver etc) that may be buried or hidden.

"You rule over the surging sea; when its waves mount up, you still them." Psalm 89:9
"And I will bring the
blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they
have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked
things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them." Isaiah 42:16
" Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near." Isaiah 55:6
