As Christmas has approached, everyone continues to ask….What do you want?
What do I want? Well around 14,500 dollars to be exact.
Support letters have been sent and the stress set in. A month later and I have hardly heard from a single person I sent a letter too. I have been feeling more like bah humbug than MERRY CHIRSTMAS!
And then of course God reminds me, "If I can provide $500 over the course of 2 days, then I can certainly handle the rest in 10 months." Someday, someday I'll have that mustard seed of faith needed to move mountains. And in the meantime God of course continues to provide in smaller ways.
So what do you ask the Christmas of a future racer looks like? Not your normal gift cards and cute clothes but:
-One lightweight sleeping bag, liner and stuff sack
-4 packing cubes
-2 compression bags
-one solar charger
-one waterproof, anit-theft bookbag
-one compression pillow
-one long skirt
-one pair of yoga pants
-one fire-starter
-one amazon gift card for ebooks to download while I am gone
As God prepares my heart for this trip, he teaches me patience as well. Lets me do all I can so when its not enough, I know that it was God alone who provided for me.
God alone who humbled himself to a poor girl's son.
God alone who experienced the ugly criminal's death I deserve.
God alone who loves me enough to die for me so I may live in Him.
When looking at that, makes $14,500 seem kind of small huh? In comparison, why would I worry? In comparison, I've already recieved the ultimate donation, worth more than any price tag.
God provides, of that I am sure.
Merry Christmas 🙂
