Eighteen days ago we packed our bags, left our jobs, said goodbye to friends, and headed for our grandparent's place to await our departure to England. Eighteen days and here we are, no visas, no plane tickets, nothing. We never would have anticipated it would take this long, but then again, we never anticipated we would ever be going to England. The lessons that can be learned in life will pass by if you don't stop for a minute and intentionally take notice. So instead of searching every angle of reason, or why God does things the way He does, we hold to one thing. He's got it covered.
"In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?
-Romans 8:26-31
