Simple Faith in a Complex Place

So, faith. It’s an small word with an enormous impact. And from all the enormity, there’s a book that states it is necessary to take all of it, the entire belief in our God, and view it as a child. 

         Meredith is seven years old and extremely close to my heart. And, as I was stretching my fundraising options to their maximum, in comes Meredith with a little wad of money, not from her parents, but pulled from the piggy bank sitting in the corner of her room. And as she held it out in her hands, it was possible to see the twinkle in her eyes as she knew she was doing something good. Meredith has no idea what we are going to do, see, and impact in Merida. She simply had faith that God was going to use her money to help us.

          As these last few weeks before we are depart on our journey, there will be stress and distraction. The last of our money will come trickling in. And we will struggle to keep our suitcases under 50 pounds. Just remember that we're going on a trip that wouldn't work unless God was in charge. Remember that your faith in God is only as complex as you make it to be. And we need look no further than Waumba or UpStreet to see child-like faith, simple faith, in full pull.
