22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the LORD.
27 It is good for a man to bear the yoke
while he is young.
I was really encouraged by this verse today. I woke up sick. Also, a little nervous about my support account. The enemy was working on me because he knows I have a significant purpose.
I am currently in between a little place called Hiwassee, VA and Hico, WV all summer. Neither of these places have had internet service most of the summer. Only recently did my residence in WV get wi-fi and I’m not there all the time. WIth everything so internet based, it has been challenging to say the least to raise support, blog, stay in contact with my supporters and check my fundraising account.
I didn’t think much of the verse other than, “oh that’s nice.” until this evening when I checked my support account and received some messages from my teammates.
I have raised $2600 even. Thank you, God. It is good to wait on You.
I had a milestone that needed to be met on July 18 of $3000. If you do the math, I’m about $400 short of that goal.
But I’m ok with that. For several reasons. Communication to my supporters about my milestones and deadlines has been almost absent due to circumstances outside of my control. But now I have an internet outlet and some cell service tonight and I’m using it.
I’m reaching out. Acknowledging where I fall short and trusting you to seek the heart of God and what He would have you do to support His ministry.
Here are my milestones for the future:
$3000-July 18
$6000 by Sept 17
$10,500 by Jan 1
14,300 March 1
My personal goal is to have all my money raised before I leave in October. Those dates listed are absolute final dates to have the money raised by. You may notice that I have to have the final amount raised by March 1. That means if I don’t raise it all before I leave, I will have to take some time off in the field to focus solely on support raising.
I think a couple of months ago, I would be consumed by my excel spreadsheet, freaking out about how I was going to afford this trip. But today I am not. And I will tell you why.
Because of the Lord’s great love I am not consumed, for His compassions never fail me.
They are new every morning, even this morning. Yes, He is so so faithful.
I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion and I will wait for him.”

The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him and I am one of those.
So it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
And it is good for a me to bear this yoke while I am young.
Thanks for reading folks. Seek the heart of God and what He would have you do in this situation. God Bless. Looking forward to my next VLOG!!
