Since being formally accepted into the World Race Gap Year, life has been a WHIRLWIND! The past 3 weeks have been filled with writing and re-writing support drafts, brainstorming support ideas, compiling addresses upon addresses, printing, addressing, post office runs, stamping, & envelope sealing (Thank GOD for self-adhering envelopes!). The list of “to-do’s” was seemingly never ending. Monday April 14th, I sent out the last (big) round of support letters! What a weight off of my shoulders! Seeing a huge stack of letters & notes to dear friends in the mailbox with the red flag up filled my heart with such joy. I am ecstatic for those that I love to hear about where God is taking me next year & the support and love I have been shown even in the past few days has been incredible.
So the hard part is done, right? Walking away from that stuffed mailbox, I felt accomplished. And then came the great wave of restlessness. How am I supposed to micromanage support raising if my letters are in the hands of others? HOW CAN I MAINTAIN COMPLETE CONTROL OF EVERYTHING EVER WITH NO CONTROL AT ALL GOD?! YOU ARE SO ANNOYING! (jk God love you)
Jeremiah 32:27 reads “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?”
I have been able to busy my brain with what I need to do to get my butt to the world next year. But now it is out of my hands. Now, I play the waiting game. I will wait patiently, with great expectation that the same God who called me into this journey will follow me through to the very end.
“The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him” Lamentations 3:25
