I want to be "careless in the care of God"

My sissy has been so good to me this week. Yesterday she came over to help sort the yard sale donation items...then stayed a little later even when I left for the attorney meeting. Then today I get this devotional from her and she is coming back today with lunch and to give me a few more hours...she is so good to me and I love you sissy...I know that you are one of my few die hard blog readers:)
The attorney went well yesterday. She is one of the nicest persons. She actually said that we can go ahead and have BF sign his surrenders since they are not legally married. Which is awesome. I just have to call BM this week and go over what we discussed with atttorney. She also told us to speak with hospital social worker and explain that we are adopting and give her a heads up since GMC is so anti-adoption. I pray that we have a good experience. She will be faxing all info to the counselor on next thursday so that she can go over surrenders and help her formulate her birth plan. I pray that all goes well with that as well. She wanted her to go over the surrenders with her first so when she is at hospital it is not the first time she hears them and then she has full understanding of them.
She said that there will be a few "incidentals" to pay for as well...of course right...more money... I found out that we have to have a court appointed person come to do a homestudy on us in order to finalize so that will not be until after the 10 days. This is nothing compared to the homestudy she said we had to do with Rylie. Then there are a few other associated fees...We even have to be refingerprinted and back ground stuff again...they only last one year so Rylie is 2 and they are no longer useable.

Then we found out the 10 days is really 10 business days:( yep and that starts the day AFTER she signs the surrender paperwork...so that is CRAZY long time....and if there are any holidays included that adds even more time, but hopefully I don't think there are any holidays in between now and her due date:) november 6th.
But that is a long time to have nausea, vomiting and diarhea everytime the phone rings:)

Just kidding...That is why I posted this blog because I want to be careless in the care of GOD!!!!

In God's CareThis devotional was written by Jim Grams

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33
The words of Jesus in Matthew 6 are so powerful. They often challenge me and sometimes they confront and convict me. They always instruct and correct us.
Recently while reading His words in The Message, the following lines jumped out at me:
"...there is far more to your life than the food you put in your stomach, more to your outer appearance than the clothes you hang on your body. Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God."
Those words literally stopped me in my reading. So often I'm anything but "careless in the care of God." I'm guessing you might be there also. Jesus lived at ease in His Father's care. He told the disciples to feed the masses when there was almost no food. He slept peacefully in the boat during a ferocious storm. He never allowed circumstances to alter His trust in God!
I want to live in God's constant care.
I want my trust in Him to be simple and sure.
I want God's care of my life to control every single thing I do.
I want to stop forgetting that my God is bigger than my circumstances.
After Jesus told the disciples to seek God's Kingdom first, he said: "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." Jesus is sending us into the world and showing us how to go...Trusting!
Going Deeper:
Spend some time thinking about God's complete care.
Begin to trust Him in everything, even the tiny little stuff!

keep the prayers coming...we are almost there!!!!
