I've entered into a dialogue with someone on the inside. Someone who, for the last 7 years, has been living the life we're aiming for.
Let me tell you -- from what I'm hearing, we're in for a rough ride.
From a human standpoint, we are conspicuously lacking in skills, money and experience. Every time I receive a correspondence from my new friend (and he is undoubtedly a friend, as evidenced by his generosity, concern and candor!), I find myself wanting to... I don't know — cry, maybe.
But here's the thing: I believe it would be both foolish and unconscionable to revert to the "familiar" existence I've known thus far. Indeed, it seems the Lord has providentially prevented us from doing so. So my family finds ourselves at a crisis of faith...
Move forward into the unknown, armed with nothing but faith — or stay with what is comfortable and familiar. Never before has it become so necessary for us to take Jesus at His word in Matthew 6:25-34.
Please, friends, pray for us. "Lord, we believe -- help our unbelief."
