Will I not equip you?

I just got back from Manhattan where I sat for the CFE exam (Certified Fraud Examiner).  I've been studying for this certification for a few months now and am pleased to report that I am officially a CFE!

Now my energy is again focused on promoting our benefit concert.  The auditorium will seat 1400 people.  We have done everything we can think of to promote the event (emailing hundreds of local pastors and ministry leaders, Facebooking, interviewing, soliciting sponsors, and etc.) But what if our efforts are not enough?  What if only a few hundred people come?  Our community has been so supportive, yet fears still manage to creep in.

I have no idea how God will provide the money we need to finish our adoption.  The journey ahead is so exciting, but very scary.  Sometimes, I feel perfectly peaceful, other times I feel like I've gone crazy.  I often find myself begging God to grow my faith.  It's shameful considering how faithful He has been to Matt and I.  God says the most comforting things to me.  A few days ago, He asked me a series of questions:  Tiffany, have I not called you to adopt?  Do I not have a child planned for you and Matt?  Do you think that I will not equip you and Matt with everything you need?

Wow!  God will equip us... He is equipping us.  I don't know how He will pull this off, but I am reminded of His faithfulness.  I love Him so much.

I want the BJHS auditorium filled to capacity, but not becuase our adoption depends on it.  This is why:  I know that God is coming to our concert... I mean, the most famous person there has ever been is coming to our concert!!  His name is, Jesus; and I'm telling you, He wouldn't miss this concert for anything!  God is going to have a blast becuase we are all gathered in one place, at one time, to worship Him!  And He deserves all of our praise. 

Our adoption is in His hands.  Our concert is in His hands too.
