I know I do not have what it takes.

I know I do not have what it takes.
I know I will not be able to do all of the things required of me along this journey.
I know I will not be able to raise the money needed for this thing to happen.
I know I cannot leave home and stay in Uganda for several weeks.
I know I will not be able to meet the needs of a child that comes from hard places.
I know I will not be able to heal all the hurts or repair all the broken places of an orphaned child.
I know I will not be able to face the challenges that often come with being a transracial family.
I know I will falter.
I know I will break.
I know I will fail.

I know that if this were about us...
if this were dependent on how good
or smart
or equipped
or strategic
or prepared
{or anything else for that matter}
we were....
it would be all be impossible.

I know that "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
I know that I can "be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” Ephesians 6:10
I know that "God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment." 2 Timothy 1:7
I know that it is enough that "Christ lives in me..." Galatians 2:20
I know that "I am able to do all things through Him who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13
