He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be astounded. They will put their trust in the LORD. Psalm 40:3 (NLT)

God's tapestry

Today I received another reminder of just how big God is, as a friend relayed a story that only God could have woven together.  The characters were unlikely and separated by distance, with a situation that seemed hopeless.  But God used past connections, technology, and friendships to bring hope to the family of a small child in another land, who only know of Him from afar.  He used circumstances to soften a heart of one who could help.  He sent the perfect scripture at just the right time.  And out of this situation, potential seeds of faith, acceptance, and mission are born.  God is just getting started in their lives!

As I listened, I was reminded that His plans are so much greater than our.  That He can turn the hurt into hope.  That I can trust that even when it seems nothing is happening with our Abigail journey, He is weaving the necessary threads together.  That some of the threads may have already been woven together long ago.  That a seemingly loose end may even come back to play an incredibly important role.
