Hello!
As many of you know last week (1/11) I finally started my fundraising! I had been putting it off and procrastinating. I knew that this was one of the most important steps for my trip and I was putting it to the side.
My mom and I had talked/ planned for the first week of 2016, we were going to sit down and get my support letters out and start fundraising. Well the Devil had a different plan for me. The first week of the new year was awful. I was struggling with school (specifically math), I was working about 33 hours that week alone, had only about 14 hours of sleep for that entire week and on top I knew I needed to start fundraising.
I was losing confidence, I became very negative and started to doubt Gods plan for my life. I was trying to fix everything by myself ( which was an awful idea because I like to compound all of my problems into one huge ball of chaos). I was so focused on myself and all my failures that I forgot how great our God is.
I was in my car on my way to work and listening to Holy Spirit by hillsong and the line was “You’re glory God is what our hearts long for, to be overcome by your presence Lord.” in that moment I was reminded that I’m not doing life alone. I needed to give all my struggle and pride over to him and pray and have faith knowing that he will take care of it.
The following week I was caught up on school,sleep,work and got my support letters out with the help of my brother! Also started my first fundrasier. Sometimes when life is overwhelming and nothing goes our way, well it’s not supposed to go our way, put your faith and trust in our Savior and He will take care of it all.
