My own words coming back to haunt me
I’ve found a few sentences of our support letter oddly helpful and apropos now:
Would you pray that God would use whatever it takes to make us dependent upon Him so that the church we plant would not bear our own name but His? And would you consider supporting us financially either with a one-time gift or a pledge for monthly support in your own act of trust that as you give in faith, God will provide all your needs as well? Thus, confessing our doubt, we still believe; wanting life to be easily understandable, we know it’s not that simple; and desiring to hold on to our plans, we instead put our faith in Christ.
I guess I just didn’t think that all of that “stepping to the edge” stuff would happen now. I guess I had wanted a year to plan for that. Ah well, life isn’t that simple.
