FAITH AND LIFE

Hebrews 11:8

By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to set out for a place that he was to receive as an inheritance, and he set out, not knowing where he was going.

Back when we used road maps, I had a map of Northern California that ended at Merced, so when I was hired for a job in Corcoran, I did not know where I was going. I had to turn the page to that mysterious Southern California map. I had modern conveniences that Abraham did not have, but there was so much I did not know about where I was going. Like Abraham, I set out by faith, and like Abraham, I received an inheritance of unexpected blessings, together with many challenges.

Over and over throughout my life, faith has enabled me to step out into the unknown. At each stop on the way, I have joined my local United Methodist church, where I have found support, friendships, meaning, and purpose.

Faith is not only about moving to a new city or taking on a new challenge. Faith also means that many of the words in our sacred book are commands from our Lord. I was blessed to work nearly thirteen years in a job that allowed me to spend most of my waking hours in obedience to Matthew 25:36c, I was in prison, and you visited me. Faith has given me the courage and support to step out into the unknown, and the guidance to know where I was going after all.
