The last couple of months has been pretty crazy ever since I announced to my family and friends I was going on the World Race. I have busy trying to work as much as I can while trying to fundraise. It has been stressful constantly thinking about how I am going to get the necessary funds to go. The amount is overwhelming especially for someone where fundraising is way out of his comfort zone. Most of the funds so far have come from myself with a few donations here and there which I am incredibly grateful for by the way. But I find myself trying to do this all alone. I find myself afraid to ask people to be part of this journey. I am a person that does not like to ask people for help. I want to try to do everything by myself.
Now when I try to do things by myself I end of failing and every time I am reminded of my weakness and how I need God’s help. Yes, I am weak, and I need God’s strength, and I am not afraid to admit that. Because when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:10) and even though Paul wrote this centuries ago and his hardships were far greater. What he wrote still holds true today, and it gives me great comfort that I have a God who gives me strength in my weakness in any situation. I can be content in my weakness.
So I ask the Lord to prepare my heart and to help me fully trust in Him. I have been so busy trying to do mostly everything on my own that I forgot lean on Him. God wants us to lean on Him, and that is what I am going to do. I am casting all my anxieties on Him (1 Peter 5:7). I also ask you to join me. I want to share everything God does with all of you. I don’t want this be about me. I want it to be about the people I meet and most importantly about Jesus and His love.
I am so excited to share what I experience with you. I want you to be apart of it as much as I can!
So what do I need right now?
I need prayer. All I am asking right now is for prayer. God works through prayer, and I need it.
Pray that the Lord will prepare my heart. Pray for the people that I will come across. Pray for the glory of Jesus to be shown.
Thank You for your support!
