Recently I have been extremely blessed in an aboundant of ways. I am always blown away at how the Lord provides for me. Even when I start to think there is no hope for how I am to get things done..then the Lord does something so extravagant there is only one way to know who it came from.
I have been listening to this song a lot today…it sums up everything I want to say..It all goes back to the grave..
My heart hangs on every word that you speak
I need you Lord, come find me
Holy spirit, breathe
I’ve been walking through deserts, I need more of your presence
I’m weak savior be my strength
Down in the valley when waters rise
I’m still believing hope is alive
All through the struggle, and darkest days
I’ll remember the empty grave
Your touch bringing me closer
Your hand healing what’s broken
My prayer, father meet me here
My life for all of your glory
Your grace let it surround me
Let faith change the atmosphere
Down in the valley
When waters rise
I’m still believing hope is alive
All through the struggle and darkest day
I’ll remember the empty grave
Hallelujah death is done
All of hell is overcome
Jesus you are alive
Hallelujah death is done
All of hell is overcome
Oh my jesus you are alive
Down in the valley
When waters rise
I’m still believing hope is alive
All through the struggle
And darkest day
I’ll remember the empty grave
The empty grave
I’ll remember, yes I’ll remember
The empty grave
When you finally obey the Lord and do what he has been asking you to do for the past 3 months, it is amazing what is on the other side of the obedience. I became fully funded back in March. After that happened, I felt like the Lord was asking me to post about asking for personal money for the race. I was like no, it’s ok. I will figure it out on my own. However, last week after waiting for 3 months I finally posted to Facebook asking people to help support me financially for the race. About an hour or so after posting that status I had a friend/supporter reach out to be and be a blessing. The Lord was already ready to provide through this person, I just needed to obey and get over myself and ask for help. I have found that I don’t have a problem asking for help unless there is money involved. It then becomes a pride thing. In 2009, I told the Lord that I would go anywhere for Him as long as I didn’t have to fundraise. But, NOW, I see the blessings from both sides of the Father.

P.S. feel free to reach out and ask questions or even tell me what you would like me to blog about. IF there is anything you would like to know about the race then please ask those as well.
