God truly has his hand on our family. When we look back and see, what obstacles did we have? What obstacles were removed? We sometimes forget. I thought I would share with you the simple spread sheet I made that shows just how faithful the Lord is, what he has done to get us to where we are…and you know why? So that we can honestly say it was by Him, for Him and there was no other way. God is good, all the time. We know that our requests were answered, because we asked in Jesus name. So, that He alone would be glorified through the mission he called us to.
“Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.“ (John 14:13-14 HCSB)
