One Day at a Time

i have had a small revelation.  i say it's small because it's pretty simple - nothing profound - but i thought i would share it anyway since it's on my mind.  olivia came to our home not knowing what to expect, yet trusting that she would be loved, accepted,  and taken care of.  she still does not know what her future looks like and how all of this will ultimately play out. yet she is taking it step by step, day by day.

we should have the same childlike faith in our Heavenly Father.  we should trust him explicitly.  He will take care of the details of our lives as we walk through the doors and opportunities that He has for us just as olivia has walked through this door.  some would say that no faith was required for olivia to walk through her door of opportunity.  what were her options?  she was desperate.

aren't we just as desperate?  i know that without my faith i would be very lost and deseprate.  even with my faith i continue to be desperate for an ever closer relationship with my Heavenly Father.

i think this everytime i look at olivia. she seems like such a trusting child and i am reminded that i should be the same.

she is doing very well.  keep keeping her in your prayers.
