that is faith. . .


last night matt (one of the full time staff members here) said, "hey guys guess what josiah just did? he got into his car himself, buckled up and just looked around for someone to push him." heather (josiah's mom) replied, "that is what you call faith!"
i feel that way right now with so many things in my life. this is especially true about our medical program right now. we are trying to meet some extremely amazing needs in a country where there is such little hope of improvement. we keep seeing more typhoid, more malnourished children, more deliveries. we aren't sure who is going to be pushing or supporting what we are doing. but i guess that is what you call faith. for josiah he got in his car and knew that someone would come push him around so he could play. for peter he got out and walked on water when he kept his eyes on Christ. for the israelites they walked around the city of jericho 7 times even when it didn't make sense as a battle plan. when God asks you to do something you walk in faith knowing that HE will provide. i have to believe that here.
