Wow, this month has flown by so fast, I can hardly believe it! At this point, to give you a bit of a timeline, I am exactly 16 days away from Training Camp and only about 13 weeks away from Launch (leaving)!
This has been a trying month, to say the least. Everything from fundraising, to getting knocked off my feet for a couple of weeks with a bronchitis/laryngitis/sinus infection bug! I have had some times when I have been so down and discouraged about all of this and honestly I admit I have thought about throwing in the towel. I wouldn't be human if I didn't ever have moments like that, we all have these times.
BUT GOD, oh my gracious loving Heavenly Father, He always comes to the rescue at the perfect time, picks me up when I've fallen, wipes the tears from my face, and wraps me in His arms. Then, I know everything is going to be alright, because it isn't me who is doing any of this, it is all Jesus. He ALWAYS proves Himself faithful, and He never changes, so we can trust in Him that He is who He says He is! I just feel overwhelmed and blessed to be a small, measly part His plan to redeem this world and make something beautiful out of a big grimey mess. This isn't 'my' race, it's His, all His.
"Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." -Matthew 6:31-34
PS. I ADORE THIS SONG! So enjoy and revel in His Holiness!
….And, just for laughs, doesn't it remind you of the Chronicles of Narnia at some parts? haha!
