reality and faith

when reality and faith collide something awesome is about to happen.

as most of you know we are in the middle of a financial crisis/struggle to get sinclair home. some deals from my work closed, however the dollars won't be in my account for a couple of months. we applied for a scholarship to help offset the some of cost of the adoption, however we were denied. we are getting an adoption tax rebate of about $10,000, however we won't see that until april of next year. and we are to leave for china next thursday. reality and faith are on a massive collision course.

we believe that God has set aside sinclair bo-zheng for our family. it has been our desire from day one (june 2005) that our whole family be there when we get her. we are not sure how God will provide or through whom, we just believe that he will. he has carried us this far and has provided for all our expenses. there is no reason to believe that it would be any different today.

when faith and reality are heading right at each other, the question is will you rely on your faith that has never disappointed, or succumb to reality and miss out on something that will blow your mind and ultimately bring honor and glory to God.

as tough as it can be, i will stick to faith. things always work out better that way.
