The Bible speaks of great men of faith. Abraham, Moses, Joshua, the apostles, etc. When I read about their stories I am amazed at the depths of their faith. How Moses could stand in the face of Pharaoh (possibly the strongest leader of the day) and continue to tell Pharaoh that he was going to take away all of his slave labor to a different land. I would love to have a cup of coffee, or two, or a few thousand with Moses as I just listen to him recount his story.
Faith is not always easy. Sometimes it is hard. We have to continually remind ourselves of the work that God has done as we remember that He will continue to provide. He has provided us with an amazing place to live for the last 6 months and we never would have expected it. However, as we hit the summer we realize that we need to find a place to live in the fall before we head to Kenya in January. This has us a little bit concerned. At times it is hard to maintain the faith that we need. Finding a place for just a few months for a family our size is not going to be the easiest task. I don't think that I am too worried about it except when people at work or other places start to question me on it. The response is usually something like, "wow, I couldn't do that."
I guess that is faith. It is not always the strongest faith, but it is there. It is there because the great Provider God has shown us time and time again, that He will provide.
Can you pray with us as we seek God's direction on where to live after this summer is over?
