Over these past couple of weeks I've slowlly been realizing how much closer and closer the deadline of July 1 is becoming. By that dreadful date I need to have $3500 in my World Race account, otherwise I don't got to training camp, which means I don't go on the World Race. Although I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is what God has called me to, I still have a sense of worry, fear, doubt, and anxiety.
Fact: Worry is not having trust in God that He is able to do everything He has promised. When a person worries, they are underestimating God’s power, and in a sense telling God He is not good enough for them. Worrying is not giving all of a person’s troubles over to God as we are commanded to.
That right there is exactly what I've been doing lately, lowering my view of God and His power even though He reminds me so much that He will provide for me. For God does not call the equipped, but rather He equips the called. My Father, THE GOD OF THE UNIVERSE, will provide for me to go on this trip and I just need to remind myself of that every single day and in turn give any doubt over to God.
Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and repetition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
I simply need to seek Him and His kingdom above all and He will provide for my every need (Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.").
It is not in my power to raise the money for this trip, but rather all in God's power and doing. God knows everyday of my life and how it will play out, He knows how the money will be raised and I can have confidence in what His word reminds me of.
I am done with putting God in a box, and doubting His ability. I have already seen Him provide for this trip in amazing ways through many peoples' support. Who am I to say that He won't come through all the more than He already has?
With that, I pray that you would consider if maybe God is calling you to help provide for my trip. There may be a reason you're reading this right now and I hope you would consider donating to help spread His kingdom through this ministry known as the World Race. I currenty only have $290 in my World Race account and need $3500 by July 1 (I know, that's only two weeks). By the 15th of June however, I should have roughly $1300 in my account because of my "$15 on the 15th of June" event on Facebook. I know it may seem impossible for this large amount of money to come through in such a short time, but who are we to underestimate the God of the Universe, who created everythng and is in control of everything?
Please consider supporting me; not only financially but also with prayer.
Psalm 139:16 "Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
God always has, always does, and always will have everything under control for our good and His glory. Let's praise Him for that!
