And he said to them, “Follow me, and I
will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed
him. And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of
Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending
their nets, and he called them. Immediately they left the boat and their father
and followed him. And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their
synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease
and every affliction among the people.
Matthew 4:19-21
The date has been set, Aug.
28th I will walk away from what I have done for a living for over 20
years. I have been called to go a different direction. Faith it’s
black and white to me, either I trust him or I don’t. I know what I have heard
from my God, it is clear to me. I thank God every day that he has made it as
clear to me as he has. Now it is time to go. The doors keep opening and we will
continue to walk through them. Now all this doesn’t mean that we don’t have
moments of pure terror with thoughts racing through our minds like “what are we
thinking” or a real common thought of “are we really doing this”? He equips us
in more ways than I ever imagined. He gave me a wife and a daughter who at
moments when I am frozen and scared to take another step forward: they are there
to encourage and pray with me. On the other side of that when they are frozen
and scared I am there to encourage and pray with them. Yes, we have moments of
panic and these are the moments our faith is being tested. Do I trust him or
not. Yes I trust him, I will go where he
wants me to go.
