Now I know why the guys at rehope were so keen to get back into their old building. Today was the first time Kate and I made it along since they moved back in. It’s great.
This year has been a real set of lessons in faith for me.
First up was finding a new church – whilst I knew we were right to be moving on I was worried about not finding somewhere and about how well we would be able to contribute our talents and energies to somewhere new. Now we’ve found a church, where we feel we can be active participants in a community of God’s people.
The building rehope are in now is a great illustration of faith in action. The guys felt so strongly that this was the right building for them that they’ve continued to pray for it after it was sold to someone else. Now that buyer is looking to sell it, and the guys are just praying that the price will be right. Something tells me they’ll keep on until it is as well.
That’s an encouragement for me, but it’s also a challenge because on a prsonal level it makes me realise how small my faith is. I’m job hunting and we need to find a new place to live in Glasgow. And I find it hard to keep believing that God will provide somewhere and something. This is in part due to my impatience, and there’s only one cure which unfortunately takes time.
So if you’re looking for something to pray for here’s a little list.
1. That rehope would get the building.
2. That we would get a house, near to rehope for preference.
3. That I would get a job.
