Its been almost a month since I've been accepted onto the race. During this time I've told many people about this amazing opportunity. This means that I've also had a lot of different feedback. As you can imagine, one of the most frequently asked questions is..
My answer is I DONT KNOW. I have absolutely no idea. Sometimes, it scares me just thinking about it. But then I stop, take a step back and realize that THIS IS NOT ME. I am not in control. God is. I know that He has his mighty hand on me, and this whole situation. I have no idea how, and I have no idea when but I know that He WILL provide. I also know that it's not going to be easy, and at some points its going to be really uncomfortable and stressful. But it all rests on faith and faith alone. Faith that God will provide. Which brings me to this bible verse I came upon while reading the other day..
James 1:2-3 "Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow."
Sometimes I also sit back and think about whats its going to be like when the journey to launch point is over, and when I'm looking back realizing that everything I had to do to get to this point has been so small comapred to the journey that lies before me. Its going to be an amazing feeling.
So I guess my reasoning behind this blog to not only to reassure my supporters, my friends, and my family that God will provide, but to also reassure myself. Leave it all in Gods hands. That being said, I would much apprecciate your prayers and support during this time.
