Faith Like Potatoes

Tonight I watched a move called Faith Like Potatoes.
It was based on a true story about a man from South Africa. Basically, he went through a lot of trouble with his farm and was struggling with despair and rage and his family was falling apart. Then he became a Christian. His first challenge givin to him by his preacher was to tell the first three friends he saw about his descision. Wow... what if we did that? I know alot of times we may be kindof embarassed to bring up that subject around some of our friends, but if we were more open about our faith, we could really be a light for Jesus. I shared part of my testemony with a non believing friend yesterday. I told him that God was the only one who could fill me up. I didn't know how he was going to take it, but he thanked me for telling him. I encourage you to talk to someone you know isn't a Christian about your life in Jesus, and all the amazing things hes done for you.
Anyways, back to the movie. After that, life totally turned around. His disfunctional family was healed. He and his wife started an orphan edge. He turned from a short tempered angry man to a man full of genuine love and care for others. He even started travling to preach to unbelievers. He went through trials that I can't even imagine, but he stayed strong. He ended up filling a huge football stadium with farmers from South Africa to pray for the drought the area was enduring at that time as well as the violence that had been going on.
He felt that God would provide for him and his family, so he decided to plant a potato crop on his farm. This was a crazy thing to do. Without rain, the potatoes would die, and he would be ruined with the debt it cost to plant the potatoes. All of his friends tried to talk him out of it, but he would not be swayed. He had faith that God would provide. He planted the potatoes, it didn't rain, but when harvest time came around a few months later, he found huge healthy potatoes.
Some of his friends were telling him to wait until the rain came to plant his potatoes. But that wouldn't require any faith. He just put his farm on the line without any evidence that it would be a success.
I want the courage he had. The courage to let go with the faith that God will catch me. I thought this was a super inspiring story, and I hope you did too!
Love you Questies!!
