“But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings. You may not know where you’re going, but you know that so long as you spread your wings, the winds will carry you.”

– C. JoyBell C.

When I was 17 years old (on my 17th birthday to be exact), I got a tattoo of the word ‘faith’ on my back. I told myself and others I wanted the tattoo as a reminder of what had gotten me through the bad times. While, in part, there is probably a good deal of truth to that, I think I actually got a tattoo of the word ‘faith’ because I wanted a tattoo and ‘faith’ is a pretty word.

Five years later, the pretty word on my back is actually starting to take shape in my life. Being raised a Christian meant that I didn’t have to go searching for God, He was served to me on a silver platter from as early as I can remember. Now, don’t think I am complaining, this foundation has made me who I am today, but it does create a different type of faith than if I were to come to Christ on my own. In every obstacle and trial I faced growing up, I turned to prayer for comfort. Not because I trusted the Lord, but because that is what I was always told to do. It wasn’t until much later, until I had grown up into an independent woman who had seen death and questioned everything I was taught to trust, that I became a woman of faith.
 

This search for faith has now lead me here. I doubted and pushed God away only to have Him catch me, comfort me, and place on a path to serve Him. I am still 10 months away from my launch on the World Race, but the journey started weeks ago. Prior to accepting my place on August 2017 Route 4, I was faith filled and ready for the Lord to work in my life. When I face the apprehension of fundraising, I tell myself “God will provide.” But now, in all honesty, I lay awake some nights questioning God.

 

Maybe this wasn’t what He intended for me?

Am I totally wrong about this?

What if I don’t raise the money and can’t go?

Why did I ever think I could do this?

 

I don’t feel shame in sharing these doubts because I know they are valid. Wait…did I just say they are valid?? Yes. Because when I have these doubts, I am thinking as if I am doing this alone. My faith falters. And I have every right to feel terrified at the thought of doing this without Christ. But then I wake up and smile because in the light of the morning I remember that I am far from alone. My own creator is in control.

I am a woman of faith and yes, God will provide.

BUT that doesn’t mean I get to sit around and wait for a check signed by Jesus Christ. So I want to take this opportunity to share about a few fundraisers I have going on now!
