After my move, God has really been challenging me at Gettysburg Baptist Church. Two weeks ago, the pastor talked about Jericho and how the Israelites conquered it. His challenge to the church was to look into our lives and see what the Jerichos are in our own lives. What are those things you don't believe God can do.
The date was May 25th. It was the sixth year anniversary of my mother's passing and my wife's departure. For me, that is a significant event. The one thing I don't believe God can do is give me a family. I have wanted to be a father for a very long time. So, I have started asking God for the one thing I don't believe He can give me. Will He do it? I hope so. I have to examine my motives though. Am I doing this because it is simply something I want? Possibly. But the desire comes from something I believe is good and natural and even biblical. My greatest fear is living a life that leaves nothing behind. If I were to marry and have children, in my mind, that is one of the most important things I could ever do.
My prayer continues though. I believe it is right. I believe God will answer. What will His answer be??
