Nov. 7, 2009 - "All you need is FAITH & TRUST, and a little bit of ...."
It's been over a month since I last wrote a blog. Yes, I've been busy, but aren't we all? Actually, I just haven't had the time to process all that has been going on in the last 30+ days. My husband and I have embarked on another journey in our life together. This one is requiring a lot of FAITH & TRUST.
For many years, we have been leading marriage small groups, and mentoring couples in our home. We have a great desire to help couples draw closer to our Creator, and to each other.
Approximately 6 years ago God gave us an idea for a Marriage Retreat. Since then, He has continually told us to “wait” because it wasn’t the right time. About a month ago, our prayers were answered with a “YES” b/c He had all the details in place for us to start planning!
Now comes the FAITH & TRUST part.
We must have FAITH that God is going to provide the couples that need and want to be a part of this event. We must have FAITH that God will provide the number of couples needed for us to re-coup the costs that we have already spent. We must have FAITH that God will give my husband and I the wisdom and words to effectively communicate w/ these couples during our teaching time that weekend.
We must TRUST others that we have asked to co-labor with us for this event. We must TRUST in their abilities. We must TRUST that they will do what they say they will.
"And my righteous ones will live by faith...." Hebrews 10:38
"Trust in the Lord and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper." Psalm 37:3
Now what else did Peter Pan say that we need? "A little bit of............pixie dust?" That may have worked for the Darling children, but for us, all we need is the Creator of the Universe. He alone is the author and supporter of this journey. We will trust HIM with all our heart.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding." Proverbs 3:5
