First! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Although raising the funds for this trip has not been a huge concern of mine, $15,500 is still A LOT of money! I know I still have several months until the financial deadlines roll around so I only check my fundraising account every few days but EVERY time I check it I am blown away by your giving. I am so thankful for the supportive friends and family that God has surrounded me with! I’m not going to give specific amounts yet but because of YOU I have started off on the right foot! If you have already supported me or if you’re still considering supportimg me I appreciate it so much! I’m always open for fundraising ideas as well so feel free to shoot them at me!
My posts have been few and far between but I promise that when I’m actually traveling I will keep you updated much more frequently and I’m sure the closer July gets here then the more I’ll be posting!
CHANGE. REMOLD. RENEW.
These are the types of things that God has been speaking to me. In the past month and a half (I still can’t believe it’s been that long since I’ve posted!) God has literally taken my life and turned it upside down.
UP-FREAKING-SIDE DOWN. It’s been a MESS to say the least.
Relationship changes.
Job changes.
Heart changes.
Everything is and was changing.
I tried to stay strong but I have to be honest and admit that the Enemy got the best of me at times. There were several points where I felt like giving up, which is exactly where he wanted me to be.
But how faithful is our God?
At the absolute lowest points He picked me up and held me in His arms. He gave me hope and peace. He was there the whole time, allowing certain things to happen so that I could see His glory through the situations. I’ve been learning a lot about spiritual warfare and how to overcome the battles. He’s been teaching me to lean on Him before I let a word come out of my mouth. When I encounter an uncomfortable situation I now know that before I let my mind race with questions and before my emotions set in that I need to ask God to give me strength in Him. I am so glad that He is teaching me how to be a better servant before I go on the World Race to serve Him.
As he continues to mold my heart to be like Him I am clinging to His promises!
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
2 Corinthians 5:7
Coming Soon : My Testimony
The next blog that I post will be some of my testimony!
It’s not going to be easy to post some things to the World Wide Web but God has laid it on my heart!
And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die. Revelation 12:11
With His Love, Christina
