Fellowship United Methodist Church

What I have realized is that trust is a journey.  I have learned to trust God along the way.  When I first become a follower of Christ I trusted him for my salvation but I had my life under control, thank you very much.  I have had some great mentors in my life and I am a pretty driven person so I normally get what I want.  I don't always want it after I get it, but I normally get what I want one way or another.  I had my military career under control and I was darn good at it.  But I lost a marriage along the way.  Then I started another career with Delta and was good at that one also.  But I lost another marriage.  Control was just a figment of my imagination and I had to learn to trust someone other than myself. 

After Cathi and I married I recommitted myself to following Christ and this time I wanted to trust HIM more than myself.  I learned to trust Him with my career and when I gave up trying to control it, God called me to something entirely different - to be a pastor.  I learned to trust God with my marriage and it has been the best relationship I can possibly imagine.  I learned to trust God with my kids - after all, I couldn't really control them anyway.  Eventually I even learned to trust God with my money, and discovered that it wasn't mine to begin with.  After I gave up control I found that I can trust God to supply my every need and more.

And, after two years I learned to trust God with Fellowship Church.  I don't know what I was thinking to be honest.  It isn't my church - it is the church God called me to start and pastor - but it is God's church.  He has continued to supply our every need, in the perfect time.  I am learning to trust and I hope you are as well.
