Shortly before finding out I had been accepted on my route / for the World Race , I really felt the Lord speaking to me through the verse in that picture. At the time I wasn’t sure what change was coming or what my next step would be, but I was definitely experiencing what I now know was ” the gift of restlessness”.
It’s been about a little over a month an a half since I have started on this journey and I have already been blown away by the way the Lord has been moving and revealing himself in this process. It blows my mind that my mind is already blown and I haven’t even left for my trip yet! I can’t even imagine what He has in store once I leave ….
Anyways, I will go into more detail about this later in a post dedicated to that and my fundraising experience so far .
For now though , I just wanted to do a quick update about everything.
I am currently ( like right this second) packing and preparing to leave for training camp on Thursday! Through means entirely outside of my power , the funds needed for me to be qualify to go to training camp were raised and I am happy to report that I am even now halfway towards my next goal of $ 10,500 due before I leave in January!
Thank you SO SO much to everyone that has helped support me so far in whatever way it has been. I have been praying for each and every one of you and I know that the Lord will honor and bless your investment into His kingdom.
Now onto training camp I go in Gainsville, Georgia where I will be camping with other World Racers for 10 days. It will be a boot camp of sorts, both physically and spiritually to prepare us for what is to come and I am BEYOND EXCITED. At the moment I’m most excited that I get to finally meet and fellowship with my team though! SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!
Okay now off to finish packing. ( if you know me this is a challenge in and of itself haha)
I leave you with this little treasure/one of my favorite parts of the Bible as a preview to my next post:
“And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing. Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds! And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest? Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith! And do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them.Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you.Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.””
Luke 12:22- 32
