good day my family and friends!
i am excited.
i am scared.
i am exhausted.
i am thankful.
i am blessed.
i am overwhelmed.
i am covered in glue.
i am procrastinating.
i am tired.
i am joyful.
i am a basketcase.
but one thing i do know is that:
i have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [i am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; i am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency].
philippians 4:13.
i have read this verse a number of times and quoted it a few times here and there, but today, feeling so exhausted from the week, preparing for tonight and the next couple of weekends, and just absolutely consumed in His grace; i am so thankful that i don't have to ask Christ for strength, because He IS my Strength. He is my Victory, He is my Hope, He is my Joy. and that is all i need.
God is awesome, can i get an amen??
AMEN!
God has provided 88% of my funds as of today. and He will provide the remaining 12%.
i just want to cry i am so thankful and overjoyed that He is so awesome!
i knew that by saying "yes" to the world race, that He would provide all the funds, but knowing that He would provide this much so quickly and let it not be a concern once i am gone in july…i had no idea.
God is so faithful.
here is just a little update about life:
i am closing a chapter in my life in 2 weeks. i am quitting my nanny job that i have done for 22 months, which has been a huge highlight of my work life. i have built wonderful relationships with the family and have been blessed by all the learning outcomes that came out of it. especially how to be a mother to wonderful boys, a wife,a friend and a daughter of our King.
i am leaving for oregon to visit my sweet grandparents on my dad's side. my father and i will be going up there for a couple of days to visit with them and his brother. i am excited to get to spend some one on one time with them and to travel and visit oregon.
then i will be in salt lake for a week before i leave again.
may 19th is TRAINING CAMP and i get to finally meet my WORLD RACE FAMILY!!
(however, i did get to meet one girl this past sunday up in park city, and it was so nice being able to hug her and talk with her!, drink coffee and talk about the world race and things going on in our lives)
TRAINING CAMP is going to be wonderful. i am excited to have God break me down every which way and i will blog about that more when that time comes.
may 19-26 is training camp in georgia.
may 26-31st is louisville, kentucky to visit my sweet big sister and her family. and man oh man! i am excited!
