God is Able

This morning in church we sang the song "God is Able" by Hillsong.  Here are the lyrics:
"God Is Able"

Verse 1
God is able. 
He will never fail. 
He is almighty God.
Greater than all we seek. 
Greater than all we ask.
He has done great things.

Verse 2
God is with us. 
God is on our side. 
He will make a way.
Far above all we know. 
Far above all we hope.
He has done great things.

Chorus
Lifted up, 
He defeated the grave.
Raised to life,
Our God is able.
In His name,
We overcome.
For the Lord o
ur God is able

Bridge
God is with us. 
He will go before.
He will never leave us. 
He will never leave us.
God is for us. 
He has open arms.
He will never fail us. 
He will never fail us.

The words in the first verse really spoke the prayer of my heart "Far above all we know. Far above all we hope. He has done great things." God has awed me. I always knew that he would take care of the finances for our adoption. I never doubted it. When you know you are in the center of God's will, you have that confidence. In fact, money is not usually something I excessively stress over because I have seen God provide for my needs so many times in my life in ways that exceed my comprehension. It is always out of my control. We just try to practice good stewardship and frugal living. I tend to stress on the details that I can control--the logistics of an event, feeding the crew, making sure that everything flows, etc. 

Everything for the concert went off like it was supposed to -- almost like planned. When the offering was received and counted, my world was rocked...and I was humbled. God had done it again. He brought in more than I thought. I was rejoicing. And then come church this morning. People stopped me and handed me more donations. I was filled with gratitude. 

Eric and I came home and put all funds together and got the deposit slip ready for the bank. $525 more dollars came in this morning, This brings our total for this event to $2360.57. We are about $1200 from being fully funded. Amazing. My God did this. My God is able. Thank you, God! Thank you for using your people to minister to this pastor's family--to this mama. Thank YOU for your part in our miracle.
