We Win.
Today at 4:37pm
Last night's Live Online Q&A on Adoption was a big win. Tommy and Aimee Poche just really laid it all out about the heart for adoption and what it takes if you're going to go for it. Adoption is such a spiritual thing. It is a picture of what God has done for each of us who have become part of His family. We were once not His, and He took us in and calls us His own now.
And they pointed out that if you're looking for a pain-free way to adopt, you're not likely to find it. There will be challenges... Don't be naive. BUT... God will be with you and there is no comparison to the sense of knowing that you've followed the peace that God gives and guides with, and that you've obeyed Him. And this is true in every part of life, not just adoption: we must be willing to obey God even if it might hurt along the way.
Aimee pointed out the truth that life is a process. What things look like now they will not always be. It's what Wayne Austin (one of our presbyters here at HPC) says all the time: "Now is not forever." The challenges are part of life. But there IS victory, too, when we follow God. We do win.
What's important to know about adoption is whether God is guiding you to do it. The rest is just a matter of obedience. The cost, the questions about the challenge, the concerns about what relatives and others may think... all of that is secondary to just following where God is leading.
There's so much wisdom in what Tommy and Aimee shared. If you missed the Q&A or if you're interested in knowing more from Tommy and Aimee, please make sure to connect with them at their website: His Heart For Orphans.

And... we're so excited about the new message series at Healing Place Church Online. This week, Pastor Dino Rizzo kicks it off with a message that already has helped so many people. It is a message about dealing with the tactics of the enemy who is bent on destroying souls. We do have a path to victory. We don't have to succumb to the attack by the enemy.
We win. In the end, if we hold on to Jesus and surrender to Him completely, we do win.
Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST and Friday morning at 11am CST for our online church experiences - and let someone know they can meet you there! It all happens here at http://online.healingplacechurch.org.
