So I figured this title would grab your attention because the original plane was for me to stay on the race for 11 months, but this will not come to surpass unless I make my LAST DEADLINE of 4,500$
My desier is to finish the race because I have seen the Gospel of Jesus Christ and his love for me wash over my life day after day. I see him taking me out of slimy pits in my life and giving me a firm place to stand upon. I see him making me into a true leader more and more each day, allowing me to push people above myself, and take the back seat when it’s not my time to shine. I see him taking away my pride, my shame, my guilt, my insecurities, my doubtful mind, my laziness. I see him ridding me of my lack of respect, my quick to speak tongue, my accusing heart, and my lustful mind. The Lord has not only been changing my life, but he has been breaking down places in my identity that were not found in him at all; he has been building me in to the woman he destined me to be since the foundations of the earth.
The Lord has awakened things in my soul and is calling forth Casey Tamara Weatherman to step into son-ship and truly learn what it means to be a daughter of the most-high King! There is an awesome quote in Pocahontas that I love, and it’s when Pocahontas’ father is talking to her about stepping into who she is as a person. He says to her, “Pocahontas, you are the daughter of the chief and it is time for you to take your place among the people.” I have realized that the Lord has been speaking the same thing over me. He is saying, “Casey, you are the daughter of the Most High King and it is time for you to take your place among the people.”
My friends and family, I am asking you to help me continue to take my place among God’s people. I am asking you to continue supporting me for the next 6 months on the field, whether that is by monetary donations or by prayer. I am choosing to know in my heart that God’s will is for me to continue on the Race until the very end of it. So in order for this to happen, I will need $4,500 more by the July 1st to be fully funded! If this money does not come in by then, I will unfortunately be going home. I’m not worried, though, because someone once told me “if it is God’s will, then it’s his bill”. I know if the Lord wants me here, he will allow me to be fully funded.
For those of you who have supported me, I am eternally grateful. You have had the awesome privilege of helping me loose the chains of injustice, set free captives that were under the enemy’s yoke, melt hearts of stone, preach the gospel to those without hope, pour out joy to the crushed in spirit, and break the stereo typical mindset that people have about Christians. There have been some days on the Race when I can feel the Body of Christ praying for me and I can feel the Lord pouring more strength into me by empowering me to keep pressing in. I don’t know where I would be without the prayers of my friends and family, and even the fasting that some have done for me. I have seen your prayers shift an entire atmosphere and break the power of the enemy. The Lord hears the prayers of a righteous person, so I ask you to continue praying because I see the fruit of your labor every day!
For those of you who have not had the opportunity to support me monetarily or even through prayer, it is not too late!! I actually need you more than ever right now, because my need for money and prayer is just as important now as it was before I left for the Race. My prayer is that the Lord would be seeking out people who want to give or feel called to give, because I no longer have income and cannot give any more of my personal money. My hope lies in God calling people to support me in this amazing journey. So, however the Lord leads you to give or continue giving, I praise him for your heart and your obedience to the Kingdom of God!
