Thoughts on Beyond Belief...

by Richard Scott, Elder

One Sunday evening in September 2005, after our family had given away our shoes on “Shoe Sunday,” six pair in all, we announced to our four kids our decision to pursue adoption. The kids asked many questions: Where will we go? At what cost? How long will it take? With no answers, we spoke with them of our faith in God’s provision and timing. Moments after the kids departed from the room, they returned with a shoe box which they had emptied their piggy banks and wallets providing the “seed money” for our adoption. In tears, we watched our kids model what living Beyond Belief really is. We know the call...all the questions are not answered...we walk by faith, giving our all, trusting in God and His Word...we see God provide according to His good pleasure.

I’m so thankful we are experiencing this journey together at Fellowship. Even as we endeavor to walk wisely and obediently, I don’t have answers to all the questions. I look back and see God’s care and provision, and then move forward in faith...all for His glory!
