Stuck in the Airport can be good . . .

Nintety percent of the times I travel, my flights are always delayed due to a plane problema, weather, or they just are delayed. At first, it would stress me out. However, as for today on my way to Idaho, I am finally surrendering and letting God work while I wait for when I actually will leave (I was suppose to leave at five, but now we leave at 8:30ish).
Anyway, I´ve been taking advantage of this time to be soaked in Him, and I felt led to read Isaiah.
Let me back up a little.
I have been struggling with accepting the lack of other opportunities our children with special needs have, and keep questioning God what will happen once they graduate from the program.
It is so common to see an adult with a physical limitation begging in the streets. Yes, maybe some of the adults could try to use their strength or gift and somehow make a living out of it. But, there must be some support. It breaks my heart that once a child with special needs is an adult, they receive no support from the government or school or anything except most likely family. Then, they are not able to contribute to their family.
So, then I think of my kids at Tesoros. What will happen to them.
Now, let me bring you back to Isaiah. I read the Isaiah 55, and felt like the specific bible verses 8 - 9 (ironically the name of this blog) are for each of our children and their mothers. I can trust that God will bring peace and joy in their lives, and will show them and their mothers His higher ways and thoughts. He has a beautiful purpose for each one of them. He is faithful and loving that way.
So, I prayed those verses (and the whole chapter) back to God for the mothers and children with my headphones playing some Misty Edwards music. God fights for them, and myself and Tesoros staff will fight for them because God does. I will fight as long as God allows me to and gives me His grace. I have peace they are under His unfailing love and wings. Still wrestling, but trusting in Him more.
He is sovereing, just, wise, and loving.
