Going into this month I kept getting this feeling from the Lord that we as a team would reach a point in our ministry that would be a breaking point, and we would have to go before the Lord. We would have to tell Him that we cannot do this on our own and we NEED His strength to continue; we would need to totally surrender to Him. Well… my feelings were right in a sense but not in any way that I expected. I was going to be the one who would reach a point in life that would lead to complete surrender of my life to Him. I cannot do this on my own; I need the Blood of Christ to cover me. I need God’s grace and love to continue to cover me and protect me. On May 5th 2011 I gave my life to Christ, but what I have found out is that you have to continually give your life to Him in so many ways for the rest of your life. He will continue to bring things up from your past that you need to give to Him. For so long, I wondered why God didn’t break your chains all at once, and I have realized it is because He loves you TOO much to do that. He will never overload you; He will never give you too much to handle. He will give you just enough to where you have to rely on Him to get through it. I cannot do this Race or this life alone; I need to surrender everything of me to Him so God can continue to fill me up to be more like Christ in all parts of my life.
“ If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life must lost it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.” -Luke 9:23-24
Side note: I am still $2,000 away from my next deadline, which is on December 1st. I know God has a plan for my support and reaching my deadline and I pray that you will want to support me and allow me to continue on this crazy, wild, life-changing experience.

***I appologize for no photos yet, not having a computer makes it difficult to upload personal photos, trying to do that soon however! 🙂 I have some really cool ones coming too, so stay tuned! 😀
