Praise Problems!

I read a daily devotional and there was one this week that I just have to share with everyone.
This one is from David Jeremiah:
"When faced with a problem or need, don't complain, panic or doubt God. Problems are opportunities for us to praise God in advance for the solutions He'll give. These are Praise-Problems! Facing difficulty just now? Thank God for what He's going to do. He knows how to make bitter waters into better waters and how to bring forth streams in the desert.

I confess I am not always able to turn my problems into praise, but it is something I am praying to be able to do more and more. I do know that worrying doesn't do any good-though it is certainly where most of us start.

I'd like to be able, with God's help to teach Molly as she grows up that there is nothing we face in our life times that surprises God, or that He isn't willing to be right there with us, lifting us up, urging us forward or holding us in the comfort of His arms-we just have to remember to let Him be God and trust always that what He brings us to...He'll bring us through.

We were so blessed this week to hear from both our birth mom and her twin sister. We have a small package of pictures on the way to M and look forward to next summer when we may be able to meet other members of her family!
