Is Anything Bigger Than God?

Well, this week begins another step closer to you. I have anxiously / excitedly spent my weekend waiting for Monday morning when we will go to the doctor to begin some treatments. Part of me is very excited to start these medicines. Part of me is very hopeful in knowing that you will soon be apart of my life. Part of me is anxious to see how my body will react to these medicines. Part of me is worried to have to give myself shots this week (who would've thought I'd be able to handle this!). And part of me is so anxious / excited to think that this could be the month we find out you are on your way. And while this is what we've been praying for, it too makes me so nervous! How crazy that in nine months we could be parents!! 

Today, the message in church was, yet again, perfect for me and our journey to you. Today's message was: Is anything bigger than God? We started by reading Mark 10:23-27.

Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!” And the disciples were astonished at His words. But Jesus answered again and said to them, “Children, how hard it is for those who trust in richesto enter the kingdom of God. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves, “Who then can be saved?” But Jesus looked at them and said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.”

In this passage, it says how difficult it is to get into heaven with riches, but that with God anything is possible. We were told, not to think of it strictly as impossible with riches, but it is impossible only when we put something in the way of God. We need to trust His plan and have faith that nothing is too great for God to handle. 

We then read from Genesis 18:1-14 when God told Sarah she was going to have a child at the age of ninety-one. This seemed impossible to Sarah and like any of us would do, she laughed. How could she have a child at ninety-one? And God responded to her, Is anything too hard for the Lord? How true this is! God knows all things and he has seen all things. There is nothing we can bring to God that will catch Him off guard; we can't surprise God with our problems / situations. Nothing is bigger than God! We don't have to understand how He's going to take care of it; we just need to turn it over to Him, trust Him, and know that He can do anything!

I know that as we continue on to you this definitely is not something that is too big for God. I know with complete confidence that God is going to give us you. I am thankful for how He has put things in place for this coming week so that I can go to all of these doctor appointments without concern for school (the first day of school is in ten days).

Tomorrow is the first doctor's appointment. I will then start some medication and on Thursday begins the shots. I have meetings all day Thursday and Friday. These tend to be somewhat stressful with school being so close - you always feel like you have so much to do in so little time. So I pray that God will help me deal with the emotional swings that can accompany these drugs. Then on the following Monday, I will tentatively have another doctor's appointment. Monday, we were scheduled to be in meetings from 7-4 (could not miss) and then Open House from 5-7. Last week, before I knew of any of these appointments, my principal cancelled our 7-4 meeting! So, God's hand was already moving before I even knew! Last week, I was just grateful for the day off. Today, I realize it is so much more than a day off - it was God working to make all of these appointments possible! Is anything bigger than God? Absolutely not!!

So, I thank God for today's message. I thank God that there is nothing bigger than Him. I thank Him for the things He is putting into place to make these next two week possible, even with the start of the school year. And I thank God for my wonderful life!
