Yesterday I posed the following four questions to my family, and here are their answers:
1. What does the word “faith” mean to you?
2. When has God been close to us as a family?
3. What does our family do to nurture faith?
4. What is your favorite Bible story and what does it say to you?
1. Sister 2-Believing in God.
Sister 1-Believing in something you can’t really see.
Mom-Believing, not just believing in my head, but knowing in my heart, and acting on that. Lots of times I know it in my head but I don’t really believe it in my heart. When I’m really being faithful, I don’t haul it back so often.
Dad-A belief in something unseen.
2. Mom-Driving home from Kristal’s graduation in a horrible storm.
Sister 1-Grandparents’ surgeries and doctor appointments. There’s been a scare with each of them.
Dad-When you were born. It’s the miracle of life.
Mom-Harold and Janice were a pretty big blessing. They were the right people in the right place at the right time.
3. Dad-Go to church and Sunday School.
Sister 1- I think we’re past the “nurturing” stage. We’re on our own paths now, our own way of faith.
Mom-We provide opportunities like youth group and camp.
4. Sister 2-Esther. It just shows that women can do stuff too, and stand up for what’s right—and I like princesses and queens!
Sister 1-Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. It showed trusting and I don’t think I could do that.
Mom-When God calls Moses, because I’m a lot like Moses. I give excuses like, “I’m not good enough,” “Don’t ask me,” “I can’t do it,” etc. And he was old before he knew what God was doing with Him, cause I’m still floundering about purpose.
Dad-Noah, Peter walking on water, Solomon. They’re all really good if you know the background information. With Noah, it was amazing that he understood God was telling him to build an ark, and he did it. And it was also amazing that God told all the animals to go to the ark at the right time. It takes huge orchestration. And you see that over and over and over.
