When I met Scott, he didn't know the Lord or much about him. He believed that Jesus was real, but, that was the extent of his religion and knowledge of God. And at that time my eyes were completely off of the Lord.
We started going to church with my mom when I was pregnant with our first child, Scott is a quiet and stoic man, he sits back and observes people. He never said much in Church, he would listen quietly to the minister without much reaction. I knew this entire church was praying for his Salvation, and I was praying even harder. After sometime we began attending Tuesday evening services as well, and still he sat still and quiet. I'm not sure how much time passed, it was quite a stretch of time, but, I will never forget the day it happened. Our minister was an awesome minister, he made it easy to understand God's word, well he was finishing with his message, and Just As I Am was playing and he invited anyone who wished to give their life to Christ to come to the altar while the congregation prayed. Much to my delight and astonished surprise Scott rose to his feet and quietly went to the altar and bowed before it and began to pray. As I sat there crying as I am right now, just about everyone in the congregation flocked to Scott and layed hands upon him and prayed with him, while others shouted out words of praise to the Lord, even the minister was crying joyful tears, I will never, ever forget that day, nor will I ever stop thanking God for it. Scott and I were married the following December in that very church.

Now, Scott is not a reading man, he's never read from the Bible, but, sometimes when I'm studying he will ask me about what I am reading and we discuss scripture, as always, he listens quietly and absorbs everything like a sponge. He is not what most people would call a religious man, as a matter of fact his love of Christ has taken many by surprise, and his understanding of the word never ceases to amaze me. I don't know why he can still take me by surprise like he does, but, it happens occasionally. One day I nearly hit the floor, when he came home and told me he was witnessing to his co workers! I was so very proud of him.
There have been some tough times in our relationship just like everybody else, and it's in these times that God chooses to bless me through my husband. Just recently we have been having some financial problems, and he was mean, and hateful and I was becoming overwhelmed at having to deal with him, I was thinking, "Help me reach him God before I loose my mind." I kept wondering, why doesn't he trust in God to get us through this? God has always seen us through in the past, so, why can't he trust that?
God heard my prayer as He always does, and He answered it through my husband.
One night he says to me out of the blue, "You know, hon, I don't know why I've been so stressed and mean lately, I know Jesus will get us through this, He always does. I know that this is temporary, and I have complete faith that God will provide for us." I sent out a silent, thank you, Lord and then told Scott that we should have complete faith in God at all times. And he replied, "I do have complete faith, I know Jesus loves us, it's just sometimes I seem to forget and then I feel like it's all on me, but, I know who's in control and I'm glad He's there." Simple words from a simple man, but the meaning of those words are quite profound when you think about it. My husband and his faith reminds me of the parable of the mustard seed, it started out very small and is growing larger by the day, and as it grows, he shares that faith with others. And all I can do is thank God for sending me this man, and for sending Jesus to touch his heart. Thank you for visiting and God Bless!

"The kingdom of heaven is like to a mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field; which is indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof."
Matthew 13:31-32
