Okay. This is me humbling myself again (look at me, I'm getting so good at this!) and admitting my absolute desperate need for Jesus. A big concern for me lately has been finances. And no, I'm not talking about finances for the trip – that's one area I'm not concerned about. You all have been so amazing and supportive of me, I feel so unbelievably encouraged that God has called you to donate to my trip so that I can embark on this journey. I'm so thankful for you 🙂 And I'm so thankful that God is clearly providing through you. I can see Him working in so many ways when it comes to all my trip preparations, and this is definitely one of them!
Anyways, my concern isn't about finances for my trip. It's about finances for everyday life! Yes, life is still there and it continues to go on around me, even as I prepare to step out of everyday life and step into a different kind of life that doesn't involve having to pay bills and making money to pay for those bills. Being a grown up is hard sometimes! So as I'm continuing through life pre-World Race, would you please pray that I remember God is with me even in the boring, stressful, everyday stuff like paying bills and affording to put gas in the car? Cause sometimes it's easy to forget. Sometimes I get so caught up in the excitement of all my World Race prep that I forget about what's going on around me in this moment. God is still working in my life and in my heart and I don't want to forget that, even with my upcoming trip. He WILL provide for everything – for all my everyday, normal needs.
Thank you Jesus for Your everyday provision. "You have granted me life and lovingkindness; and Your care has preserved my spirit" (Job 10:12). Your reminders of Your presence in my life are in everything I encounter – from the moment I wake up and realize I'm alive to see another glorious day on earth, to how I never seem to go hungry. Your love for me keeps me going. I would be nothing without You, and I thank You for your humble reminders.
