I think I can speak for most of my squad when I say that lately those “Oh man oh man this is this really happening?!!” moments are becoming quite the norm. But I personally have also had moments of extreme discouragement, stress, and doubt…to the point where I’ve actually been losing sleep over it.
A million questions run through my head on a daily basis: How am I going to meet these deadlines? Are the donations going to come in? Am I going to make it at training camp? What if I don’t get along with my teammates? Am I really cut out for this? What if I’m wrong and this isn’t what God is telling me to do?? What if I fail? What if, what if, WHAT IF??
So here I am, doing everything in my power to make this journey happen…and ultimately I end up feeling defeated.
Why?
Because I don’t have the power to make it happen.
That power belongs to God, and God alone. He has the power to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons (Matthew 10:8)…so why in the world am I over here stressing out and losing sleep over some financial deadlines and hypothetical situations??
Satan is trying real hard to bring me down lately. He knows that God has been changing me, molding me, and building me up to be a warrior for His Kingdom…and what Satan wants more than anything is for me to fail!
So my request is this:
Please be praying for my heart and my mind, that whenever I feel discouraged and start to doubt God’s Will, that I’ll be reminded of God’s perfect plan for my life and feel comfort that HE is in control. Also be praying for my squad mates as I know several of them have been feeling the same way.
I’ve already received SO much encouragement the past couple of days (without knowing I really need it) and it’s been so incredible. God really does work in and through us and that has been evident in the messages and notes I’ve been receiving. So thank you for those uplifting and encouraging words. They only strengthen my desire to make this dream of the World Race a reality. And it’s a reality that can’t happen without your support and God’s ability.
