Faith and Works

Or should I say Faith Works? Yes, I believe I should. Isn't God faithful? Wait, that isn't a question. It's a statement. God is faithful and His faithfulness overwhelms me at times.

As most of my blog followers know, my husband and I just recently started Trailhead Church. Yes, we started it from the ground up, plowing our way through a city via door knocking, door hanging, carnival handouting (so not a word), street inviting, personal inviting and through the local newspaper. I must admit, we have had grand thoughts of Men and Women of all different shapes, sizes and backgrounds flooding in through our Ramada Church doors; praising God until their arms fell off, praying ever so fervently. Did I mention that we have seriously handed out a few thousand invite cards?

So faith without works is dead. We just had our fifth Sunday of Trailhead and it was wonderful. We had a mini fall festival for the children. I would like everyone to know that up to this time the children of Trailhead has consisted of my two boys and a couple of in and outers here and there. I had it in my heart to do a fall fest. I was at first discouraged, because you want children to attend when you put together an event such as this. I am the children's pastor and I want God's best for Trailhead Kid's...even if it is just my two boys! I was praying about the event and God just so wonderfully placed that scripture in my spirit. FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD! It was confirmed, a fall fest we shall have and we will do it in faith.

We had nine kids at our first fall fest...and I am so blessed. Zechariah 4:10 Despite not the day of small beginnings. This is just the beginning of what great things God has in store for Trailhead Kids. We had a wonderful event and the kids were so excited and had the best time. Isn't God faithful!

And yes we will have a group of people ready and willing to praise God until their arms fall off and to pray ever so fervently that revival just has to break loose. I see it now! A people in search of more...how exciting.
