- A Few things I Need From YOU:
PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER, PRAYER, and more PRAYER!
I can not tell you how much I need prayer. PRAY FOR ME PLEASE
Encouragement. I like to know that people are praying for me, supporting me, and I love when people tell me that they’ve read my blog and what they think about it.
Ask questions. Please don’t be scared to ask me about my trip or anything in life really. I love talking about the work the Lord is doing with me!
Scripture. If you know a Bible verse that you think will encourage me or guide me through this journey, send it to me.
Let me know how I can pray for you! I don’t want this to be a one sided relationship where you’re always giving and I’m always taking. If you need prayer, let me know!
Fundraising ideas! I’m running dry on unique ones, so if you have any, hit me up.
- Stay Updated:
I would like to do monthly or bi-weekly updates, so if you’re interested in that you can “subscribe” to my blog and it will let you know when I post.
- On My Heart:
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He Who promised is faithful ( Hebrews 10:23 )
…And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our suffering, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, Who has been given to us. ( Romans 5:2-5 )
As Christians, we have this hope that no one else can even compare to, but we often don’t see it as a gift or we lose hold of it when times get rough. If we boasted about the hope the Lord gives us, daily, we would certainly stand out and make people ask, “What do they have that I don’t?” We would also never lose sight of Who Jesus is and the gift He paid heavily for but has given to us freely! So commit with me to pick a promise of the Lord and hold on to it and read it daily. I am going to choose Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. – When plans don’t go my way, I will remember that the Lord’s plans are better and for a purpose. When the enemy tries to take my joy by blocking my sight of the future and making me feel like I am under attack, I will tell him, “No, The Lord’s plans are for good and not harm. Jesus has my future even when I can’t see it.” I will hold unswervingly to this hope.
Thank you for wanting to stay updated with me and letting me pour my heart out without judgment! Have an awesome day!
Go With Love,
~Theresa Ann
