Like the title right? I’ll leave the translation for you to figure out 🙂 we’re in Guatemala and it’s beautiful, just getting use to the different culture has been lots of fun, will do an update on everything next week.
So confession I meant to write this least six months ago, because back then he did some really cool things back then and fast forward to now he is still doing really cool things and I have even more to share with you; about his goodness and how he really does guide us and create opportunities to share His love.
At the start of this process, I had no clue how this was all going to work out. The one thing I did know and hold onto today is that my God is faithful – from beginning to the end.
Back when I first thought about doing the race, I had to apply for the time off with my job; being a nurse it’s not always easy to get time off, especially a full year! So I was a bit nervous asking my boss about it, there response I was not expecting, they were actually very supportive and excited about what I wanted to do and more than that i get to come back to my job when I come home…HOW COOL!
In this journey the main thing I’m having to work through and honestly it’s been a struggle is how to trust God in all things, my mind has been in loads of different places.
One of those was telling my parents as I didn’t know how they would react, honestly was a bit nervous and initially they weren’t happy and had lots of questions but we’ve come along way from then and it’s been a process for all of us, taking time to work through everything but honestly I love them so much and I know that they may not understand everything but I have their blessing to do what God has put on my heart.
I probable wrote about this before but God has been continually surprising me; when I think he can’t, he always does because he is a good father and I’m learning to make room for him to move.
Every time I’ve had doubts about actually being on this journey God in his amazing way blesses me and encourages me; spurs me forward into what he has for me. He says “do you trust me, do you believe that I work all things for good?” It is hard in the midst to lift up my eyes to him but the thing I can do, is choose him daily, to surrender every thing knowing that he had got it.
It costs us to lay down all the things we hold close and as I have done that the breakthrough and favour has been AMAZING!! The last two weeks I’ve had people donating at the very last minute, people sending me prayers that build my faith and sharing my journey, and I’ve actually been able to keep my house that I love and live with an amazing housemate.
I know hand on heart that these things and the people who believe in me is down to the goodness and faithfulness of God, I love that, I love how he uses people build up, cheer up and draw them closer to him – what a beautiful representation of the body of Christ and I’m so thankful to be a part of it!
I would really love your feedback on this, comment below and please continue to pray for me and my time as we enter the first full week of ministry
Also I still have some way to reaching my goals, the next one is $13,000 by the end of Nov. I’m fundraising and asking in prayer would you support me financially and help continue what Gods’ put on my heart by giving £30/$40 you can donate on the homepage or contact me 🙂
