Sometimes the season of life I’m in means giving up some things, even good things! Hi, I’m Renee Swope with Proverbs 31 Ministries.
My husband JJ and I knew that having two teenage sons and adopting a baby overseas was going to be hard.
But, a month after we brought our daughter home from Ethiopia, both of my parents had serious health problems and ended up in the hospital.
Suddenly we were faced with even more than we were prepared for. When all this happened we knew we needed to drop a lot of outside commitments.
Even though we were doing good things, they weren’t all things we needed to focus on during that time. We had to realize our limits and trust God to take care of things we could no longer do. It wasn’t easy but it was absolutely necessary.
