This month has been the first official month that I have made it publicly known that I will be participating on the World Race and God has blown me away with His goodness and provision! My prayer has been that God would make raising support so easy so that I could focus closing my chapter here in Asheville. BUT God, (Still love those words!) has been going far beyond my wildest expectations and has been making both an easy process.
Leaving Asheville means selling my house, selling/giving away most of my possessions, finding a good home for my two cats (if anyone would be willing to adopt/foster them for a year please let me know!), and saying good bye to a chapter of my life. Some days I am super excited to let everything go, but other days it is hard. It is a battle between my flesh and my spirit, but I am reminded of a word given to me, that God has FAR MORE in store and it requires me to take that step of faith. That means for me to lay down the comforts that I cling to, and trust the path that has been set before me.
Last week, Tuesday specifically, God showered me with blessing and confirmed this path. By the end of the night I was weeping tears of love for my Father, and I was just in awe of His great love and tenderness towards me. I received a series of texts that reached my fundraising prayer, and for closing my chapter here. I had someone interested in possibly renting a room, then right after that another friend messaged and said she had a friend who would be interested in purchasing my house (I have not put it on the market and have 3 interests!!!! Praise God!!), and then another friend messaged about supporting me monthly for the Race! At that point I was already saying thank you Jesus! This is awesome! I even called my prayer partner and rejoiced with her. I thought that was it and happy with it all, but God was not done that day! Another friend messaged me and said that she wanted to bless me with a pack for the race. I started to weep, Jesus’ love for us is so Beautiful and I was drowning (happily :]) in it. He has confirmed this path and I am so amazed and in wonder of it all. I am excited to see how the funding and everything will come to be, and I am believing fully that He has it, yay God!
Thank you for taking the time to read and hear what God is doing!
Love,

Luke 9:23-25
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. 25 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self?
