“When I am at my lowest, you turn my eyes up. When I am feeling overwhelmed, you surround me with love. When I am feeling discouraged, you flood me with encouragement.
Lord, what have I done to deserve your love? It is not fair. I am selfish, I forget who you are, I am stubborn, I am easily shaken. And yet you persist to shower me with your provision. You see me when I am not looking towards you. You fish for me, and feed me, and sustain me.
All praise and thanks for the God above who does not love fairly. Who continues to love when I am undeserving. Who grants me gifts of love and support and encouragement when I do not ask for them. Who sees what I most desparately need and provides it.
You will not let me feel worn without your peace.”

Guys…
God is good.
God loves you.
God is ALWAYS there for you.
This past week, I have been really bad about spending quality time with the Lord. I have felt as though I have had zero time to rest, or to be replenished by His word. And it has been draining. And today, I was feeling 100% discouraged, unsure, defeated, worried, anxious, overwhelmed. But then God. He said, “If you won’t come to me then I will come to you”. I received messages, and emails, and verses, and support, and so much else literally every single hour of the day all basically saying that God’s got this. That I don’t need to worry because God is bigger than all my fears.
He is providing me with comfort when I asked for none. I didn’t tell anyone how I was feeling, but God used so many to share His love and His truth with me.
If you are someone who reached out to me, THANK YOU. You are a part of more than you know. God used you to love me and to turn my eyes and focus back on Him.

~I am so so close to launching! I leave October 5th and still have so much left to do. Prayers that I will be able to get everything in order before I leave while also being able to spend quality time with family & friends.
~Just two weeks ago, I still needed about $3,000 to reach my second fundraising deadline on September 21st. Today, I reached that goal and am officially able to launch with my team! Just praising God for His crazy provision right now.
