Stepping Into God’s Supply
by Melanie Hemry
Shannon Stewart couldn’t help smiling as she let herself into their beautiful new apartment in St. Charles, Mo. Although she and Micah had been married for just under a year, things couldn’t have been much better. She enjoyed her job as a bank teller, and Micah loved his job in the IT department at an insurance company.
Together, their combined income had been more than enough for them to sign a lease on this stunning two-story apartment.
Shannon looked around her new home and decided to clean a little before Micah got home from work. Humming, she skipped up the stairs.
In some ways, they couldn’t have been more different.
Micah loved volunteering at church, even taking his vacation time to do it. He embraced his church family as if they were blood. He enjoyed being the first to arrive at church and the last to leave. He’d probably live there if it were possible.
Shannon grew up in a church family, but it was so dysfunctional that they’d fought all the time. Disillusioned, she’d stopped going to church altogether for a few years. Then, six months before meeting Micah, she’d rededicated her life to the Lord and started going back to church. Unlike her husband, though, she preferred arriving five seconds after service began and leaving right after it ended. She didn’t want to get involved and become disillusioned again.
As Shannon reflected, Micah stepped into the bedroom. Tall, dark and handsome, he still took her breath away. But he had an odd look on his face.
