Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is doing well!
Lately I’ve been really busy and kind of stressed just thinking about everything I need to do to get ready, and money I need to earn and raise.
So last night I added up all the costs and how much I could put towards my own trip. I have asked God that He would help me come up with the first $5000 by the first deadline, July 21st. It won’t be easy, I need to get super busy and will need some extra jobs but I truly believe God will provide. If He were to not then I would know He was saying not right now child be patient. Thats hard for me sometimes to be patient! I’m a let’s do this now and be ahead of the game person. God knows this and I believe is working on my Faith in Him. He knows it’ll need to be really strong for this trip.
As I was crunching all the numbers last night I was thinking this looks to be impossible, am I crazy?! I launch in 138 days counting today. And in 87 days counting today for training camp! And 40 days till I need to send the first 5,000.
Then before I went to bed I read one of my devotionals. It was on the life of David. Speaking about fighting the good fight of faith. The devotion said, That some of God’s promises have to be fought for. The Jebusites told David, “you’ll never get in here!”. There will always be little resistance to your vision, especially when there is no evidence yet to validate it. “Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion”. When we’re up to our necks in problems and the enemy is saying you won’t make it, stand on God’s promises and declare, “Nevertheless”. Rise up in Faith and carry out great exploits. You’ll have to fight for your destiny, and fight to hold it. I’m putting my dukes up to the negativity and fear from the devil. And moving forward knowing God is with me.
I appreciate your prayers as I prepare for this Journey God is taking me on. I know He has great things in store, He always does =)!
