Since I have started some of my fundraisers this whole process has began to sink in and all too real emotions have come with it. Excitement, nervousness, and eagerness. Excited that I get to travel the world proclaiming the love of Jesus to people who may not otherwise hear it. Nervous that I have never left the country and now I will be in 11 different ones come 2017. Eagerness to dive head first into ministry and minster with people I do not know but who have the same reason for being there, the love of Jesus Christ.
I had a very intimate moment with Jesus last Wednesday. I was driving to one of my stops in a town about an hour away from the shop. I was listening to music on the way like I usually. My dear brother in Christ opened me up to the Bethel Music Ministry and I have been hooked since. I had one of their songs playing and all I remember is sobbing. Heavy tears falling from my eyes and so overwhelmed with emotion and then I felt the Spirit come over me. It was as if He was giving me a hug and holding me. I felt Him say, “Do not worry about your trip. Everything is going to be okay”.
God keeps showing up and reassuring me that The World Race is exactly where he wants me. I wasn’t sure if anyone had donated to my Race yet and I was a bit discouraged. Again, something told me to go check my account. Someone had donated $100. I do not even know who it is because it simply says Anonymous Giver. Whoever you are, if you are reading this blog, I want to thank you.
To feel the hands of Jesus on my life is all I need in this world. Our purpose is not to live this life for us, but to live it for Him. I am thankful that after all the struggles and dark times and the many prayers from my family that I am walking in the Light now and in the precious hands of Jesus.
