As I have recently posted, I found out where I would be traveling over the next year! Friday was an amazing day with the surprise of spending three months in Africa, and then getting to hangout with great girls that night I was completely on a spiritual high! Then Saturday I got to hangout with one of my fellow teammates, getting to know her and getting some good tips on preparation for the Race. Then Satan began to creep in…am I going to be prepared financially for this…not with support but with the THINGS I need, like a new computer/extra personal money/etc. By Sunday after church I got home and crashed on my bed with anxiety of being completely not prepared. I had not feared like this in a while and this anxiety completely took me over. I called my mentor and began explaining to her my fears and suddenly began crying. I did not realize how upset I was. She quietly began praying for me and then asked me to begin naming three things that God had done for me that week. As I began to think and name the ways the Lord had provided for me, the list was way longer than just three. I was instantly encouraged and saw God’s provisions from the past week! I then saw the pressure that I had put on myself was completely unnecessary, but so easy to do.
I remembered that Jesus will provide my needs and wants me to be satisfied in Him and not on things.
