To All the Doubters...

That your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God
                                                           -1 Corinthians 2:5 (esv)

There are no doubt some very wise men and women on this planet, even in my own life. While I am impressed by their knowledge and even a little envious, I know that the wisest man is no match for the power of God. I have seen firsthand this power in my own life. It is the power that took two selfish, kids and over a period of 18 years raised them into faithful, generous and selfless followers of Him.

Don't get me wrong we are not perfect, never will be. But following His plan and seeking His will have led to a peace in the midst of many questions, many how will this ever work moments. He has remained faithful, even patient with our whining and impatience.

I choose to believe in Him, in His power to work all things out for good and for His glory. What a blessing it is to know that my life can reflect God's love and unending compassion to the people He created, all of them.

So in a matter of months as we pack up and head off to another continent, know that we are not doing it on a whim or out of self serving intentions. We are living out our worship of a God who knows no boundaries and is solely deserving of all we can give. 

To those who have doubted, thank you for the motivation you have provided. I pray your faith will be increased by the work He is doing. 

Now Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
