"We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us." Joseph Campbell
I sent out a bunch of support letters a couple weeks ago and on Sunday I had four people tell me that they wanted to support me in any way that they were able. That was really encouraging. And yesterday I talked to a good friend who I hadn't heard from in a long time, and she was very excited for me. It's really good to hear things like that, because asking for help is not easy for me. Especially in regards to money. It's probably one of my least favorite things to do, because, unfortunately, I have a tendency to try to do everything by myself. But I can't! It was never meant to be that way. And in something as big as the world race, it's all about the people helping you and enabling you to go where God has called you.
Sometimes I need those reminders of how God is working in and through this whole process. I've already seen how He's provided for this trip in little things, but I need to daily surrender to trusting Him with the big things.
I don't know where the money for this trip is going to come from exactly.
I don't know how I am going to pay for all my gear and vaccinations.
I don't really know how any of this is going to play out…
but God does.
And I'm good with that.
