Who is like our GOD?!?!

And the only answer is, "NO ONE IS LIKE OUR GOD!!!" Our sweet Father has been up to some amazing work in the lives of this Grooms clan and we praise Him for His great faithfulness to us! We have been in exhausting trials and struggles over the past several months, but we hold tight to this truth: "[We] consider it all JOY when [we] encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of [our] faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, so that [we] may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1: 2-4


God has been answering prayers and working in mine and Jason's hearts to conform us to the image of His perfect Son in amazing ways. Provisions and blessings at just the right time every time! Though He has not chosen to change our circumstances, what He has done is change our attitudes and hearts. God is allowing us to see things from HIS vantage point, which is the only one that matters in the first place! Contentment was formerly not a word I would have used in my vocabulary, but has recently become a precious peace to me from the Father. He alone is worthy of all honor and praise! When things seem right, He is Sovereign. When things are a mess, He is Sovereign. When we feel like giving up, still He is Sovereign. In ALL things, He is Sovereign. He is good, ALL the time.


Our family is looking forward to this school year, to the weeks and months ahead as we prepare for the "Kingdom Challenge" kicking off at church, and for whatever our great God has in store!
He is Jehovah Roi, the God who sees. And praise be to His name that He is the God who sees to it all!
