I AM SO INCREDIBLY BLESSED!
My fundraiser at church made a little over $2,000 dollars with a promise of about $2,000 dollars due to monthly donations. AMAZING RIGHT!!!???
Well after it was all said and done, I was hoping to be able to use some of that money for the plane ride I have to pay for. I have to pay for vaccinations today and I was worried about not having the money for the plane ride. Then I was told that my wonderful elders (who are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!) would be taking the money and making a large check out to the World Race for me. Well this helps me out because I don't have to do the work in order to send the money, however, I was being selfish and was very worried about the plane ride.
I was being grateful and happy for all the amazing donations that were given, but I was very ashamed of myself and still am.
Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:15-17
So, I am confessing to you that I was selfish and worried about my own needs, when I should have shook it off and just trusted God that he'd take care of it. I am sorry for feeling this way and I am VERY VERY VERY grateful (and somewhat shocked!) at just how much I've been blessed!
So I repented and prayed about it, and I go to the bank and realize I have more money than I thought I did. PRAISE GOD! And I'm sorry I was selfish. There is no excuse for me taking for granted my awesome blessings. Please pray that God will calm me down and that I will stop worrying about these things. It is CRUNCH TIME! I am leaving SO SOON, and I simply don't have a lot of time to get the money I need to buy the things, and still have money to bring with me on the trip. These are the worries I need to bring up to God and just TRUST that it will be okay.
Prayers would be much appreciated.
And THANKYOU for your support!
