Title: Step back, God’s got it

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; – Proverbs 3:5

I have adult children who do not attend church or appear to be grounded in faith. This has been with me for some time, and with hours of research, I have decided to rethink my perspective. Instead of focusing on what my children aren’t doing, like attending church, I focus on what they do that shows signs of faith, like serving the community. A pastor friend had told me that your adult children need to figure things out for themselves. Straying from the church temporarily doesn’t mean they’re abandoning their faith. They might need to walk this path to reach a good place. Try stepping back, supporting them where they are, knowing eventually God will use them when he is ready.

Real men know your children belong to God first.

Rebecca and I have lived in SW Florida since 2018, moving from Valparaiso, IN, where they raised three children, William III, Patrick, and Rachel. Bill and Rebecca have been married for 29 years. I currently work for White Lodging Services, and Rebecca is officially retired from school teaching. As a couple, we attend Cape Vineyard Community Church in Cape Coral, FL. Rebecca and I are very active at Cape Vineyard: Rebecca in children’s ministry, and I in band media and supporting facilities.
My interests include Hunting/Fishing and traveling with Rebecca to visit the children and grandchildren. My happy place is the UP of Michigan, where Rebecca and I share time their now.
