Boy has this week been a struggle!
Planning my fundraisers for the next two months, working, helping-out at home (my sister-in-law just had her fourth BOY!) and still managing to keep up with the ministries I have commited to. Yes it's no stroll in the park, but I wouldn't trade it for the world! I am looking forward to my journey ahead of me. But there is still some restlessness I have been stugggling with. Nerves? Excitement? The anxiety that comes with feeling not as well prepared for the trip as I need to be… even though I still have about 6 more months left?… all these things have been creeping up in my mind! and I have found it hard to sleep with a full mind of thoughts and worries. So I have decided to "GIVE-UP"….
No! Not give up faith and hope., but GIVE UP, my stress-filled thoughts, my worries, my anxiety to G-O-D! In Philippians 4:13 it says, "I can do all things through christ who strengthens me." and In Proverbs 12:25 it says, "Anxiety in the heart of a man brings depression, but a good word makes it glad."
So I believe that If i claim in Jesus' mighty name that all stress be lifted off me It will and if I claim that GOD of mercy and grace, show me the way and give me wisedom. He will for in 1 Peter tells me, "Cast all your care upon HIM, for HE care for you!"
So now I'm filled with peace and understanding that the Lord will open the right doors for me and give my mind the rest it needs. I hope everyone who is following my bolgs will or will try to understand God's undying love for them, and that he has EVERYTHING under control! I pray that you too will seek God first with all your decisions, and will find peace in them as well. I love you all so much. I want to thank all those who are supporting me in prayer as well as donations, it means so much to me. Prayers are even better that donations,I need as much prayer as I can get! Thank you all again so much! God bless you!
