We stepped into this journey of obedience as a family. Sure each of us had to decide individually that we were willing to follow God's leading, but then it took on a corporate approach.
Last night we were focused as a family on partnership development. No, Hannah and Alex were not asking their friends for partnership, but they were doing dishes and etc. to allow Scott and I to focus on setting up appointments and getting our newsletter ready to go out. Lots of yelling up and down the stairs and laughter as we all worked.
Then one of the phone calls ended in a God size blessing (not that all blessings aren't God size - but this one was so big we didn't see it coming nor could not even begin to take credit for it or call it coincidence or anything). Scott came downstairs to share it with us in a playful way. Alex and Hannah joined right in. Then Scott just flat out told us all the details. We laughed and giggled and then we did something incredible. We stood together in our living room, holding hands, and Scott prayed a beautiful prayer of thanksgiving and praise. What a precious moment!
Yes, this journey has some hard parts to it. There are some sharp curves and big pot holes, but I wouldn't get off this ride for anything! How about you? Is your family journeying together in obedience? Your family may be a biological family such as ours, or perhaps it is your faith family. Don't miss out on the blessings and fun of a journey together!
