Hello everyone,

        So I wanted to share this link because if you where wondering where I am at with this process of fundraising and balancing life. The truth is I am horrible at it and I am learning to trust God with it all. So I posted this link because this literally just happened. God has blown me away with His faithfulness to provide strength and encouragement at the perfect much needed time. I read the post by Seth Barnes about pain. Read it now and come back to this point… Then I read a verse a friend had posted on Facebook which was: And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. (1 Peter 5:10 ESV)) After reading this verse I looked it up myself and then I read this: Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Peter 5:6-11 ESV) 

Brothers and sisters, God is wonderful. I pray God uses this post and let this encourage you. Greet one another with the kiss of love. Peace to all of you who are in Christ. (1 Peter 5:6-11, 14 ESV)
