Well we gave up our business, our home, our extended families, friends, all of our belongings and lost some precious pets. He called us to walk by faith through destitution, hunger and homelessness for 40 months with 82 moves over 3 provinces. We have slept in the woods, sidewalks, snowbanks, garages, churches, tents, shelter, motels and rarely, in houses. At some points we came close to death from hypothermia, attacks by drug crazed loonies, and survived verbal assaults by pastors and Christians. Through all of this Jesus was calling us to live by faith and trust Him for our daily provision, which we did. Our faith in hope in Him endured many meltdowns and crises. Each day we called out in faith and He provided what we needed. Jesus led us continually and with His perfect timing we made it through. All four of us with our remaining bird and dog survived.
For the faith and wisdom we received, the spiritual maturity and intimacy with Jesus and all the other benefits that come from faith it was definitely worth the sacrifice. We haven't not given up anything of real value and have gained way more in eternal value.
