My personal Goal for October 1st – $4,000.00
So right now Im sitting at work.. thinking about this CRAZY goal that I just set for myself and trying to decide what to write about on my blog today!! I know that a lot of the members of my squad are struggling with stress from the World Race, including me. I find myself laying in bed at night (not being able to sleep) with a million “what ifs” running through my head. What If I something were to happen to me while I was gone on this mission? What if my fundraisers dont go as planned? What if this is not really where God wants me to be? What if I put this all in Gods Hands?!? Giving everything to God without a shadow of doubt is almost humanly impossible. Its our natural instinct to worry, but all he wants us to do is hand our problems over to him. Now I’m not saying expect him to do it all.. we still have to do the leg work, but who could lose with such a greater power on our side. God has already blessed me with so much good fortune, but I cannot keep from worrying about this first deadline that is coming up!! I must confess that I do not go to God in prayer when I am feeling weak as much as I should. One of the squad members posted on FB that our Journey does not start in January.. our journey started the day that we accepted our spot on this mission trip. This statement is so true.. never have I had to get out of my comfort zone or try so hard at so many things in life. This trip has already made me so much more knowlegable, wiser, and spiritual; and I havent even left yet. So today I decided that I am going to give it all to God. No questions asked… Im putting it all in his hands!!Its so crazy how God works.. Just as I began wirting this my boss walked in and handed me $100.00 towards my trip, and yesterday my Mom pedged to donate all of my gear!! God is Good.. All the time!! Seems like a pretty good comfirmation to me!! Please continue to pray as the days get closer to my launch date in January and also keep everyone in prayer as we get ready to travel to training camp in Atlanta, GA October 14-24.. (my travel dates are included in that, actual camp is 16-23!!) God Bless Everyone!!
LoveYou,
Sara Wardell
