All Things Possible
When I was in Africa, I was counting up the money one night and saw that one of the bills had writing on it. I realized the writing was scripture. The numbers were familiar but I had to look it up to see what it said. Philippians 4:13 - "I can do everything through him who gives me strength". I had sort of forgotten about that until this afternoon and it just popped into my head and I was reminded of that scripture and several others similar and that fact that it was written on some money I had in Africa. I think that's my verse for this process of adoption. I need to hold on to it for days when it gets challenging. And another verse that's very similar too - Matthew 19:26 "With man this is impossible but with God all things are possible." And Luke 1:37 where it says "For nothing is impossible with God."

Philippians 4:13 has gotten me through many tough situations. It's a life verse for me, without a doubt. So glad that the Lord reminded you of it as you begin this process.
