If God is with us...than what can stand against us?!

Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
Luke 12:6-7

To say that I have been a nervous wreck since we received news of our move, would be an understatement. I have been scared passports won's be done in time, scared our command sponsorship won't come through in time, scared the house won't be ready to rent, and so on and so on... Most of all scared that the friendships we have made here would be forgotten or that I wouldn't be strong enough spiritually to step away from my support system. Well God heard my heart...not even my prayer because I was even scared to tell God about my fears (how silly is that!)!
Romans 8:31 What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Sunday was the first time in awhile we were able to go to "big church" and weren't working in children's church and WOW did God know we would be there. Ms. Denise sang an amazing song, "Our God", by Chris Tomlin
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
What can stand against?

As I stood there singing, God spoke so clearly.."Fear not, I have gone before you and prepared the way" I can't say that I am not still worried but now I know God is already working and already has everything in place for us. I was able to see a glimpse of that this morning. We had to have an appointment for our medical screening before the first week in April to have everything done in time for us to travel together. We were told yesterday that they were VERY backed up and wouldn't be able to get an appointment in time. We quickly filled out the GIANT packet of paperwork and turned it in ASAP and were told to call this morning. I called at exactly 7:30 and was given an appointment for March 30th!!! A week sooner than we needed! How cool is God! :)
I know He has this under control... next time..more on my friendship fear ;)
