Kathy attended church along with her family while growing up. As a child, she says, her
faith was important to her. When her parents divorced, her world "blew apart" and she
stopped attending church. In college, she attended an occasional service but she says of
that experience, "It really didn't resonate with me." Later she married a man who did not
go to church. Kathy says that during this time she felt something was missing in her life
but could not put her finger on it. After the birth of their daughter, Kathy felt the urge to
return to church.
A coworker of her husband recommended a church that they began attending, "It felt like home," Kathy reflects of her experience. Her faith was beginning to be rekindled.
That summer, the church held a family day at a local park. There was a maze where participants were encouraged to navigate looking for various things along the way. Kathy began walking and found a sign that read, "Trust." She continued and found another sign, "Be brave." It was at this point that she began crying. This was a turning point in her life. Her faith "came back." What was broken was made whole again.
As she exited that maze she found the word, "Thanks," to which she gave thanks to God. After years of floating she felt grounded in the faith once again.
Hoping to inspire faith the apostle Paul reminded the Romans of the great faith of Abraham. Paul writes, "No distrust made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God."
