I love writing. So when I was accepted for the World Race I was pretty excited for the blogging; Piece-of-cake, I thought. But then I realized that there are some weeks where you just feel…uninspired. Which is so ironic because this is a time in my life where I am fully aware of so many blessings from God and a time where I am experiencing what I would consider the bright side of preparing to leave. But I find myself at a loss for words, and at a loss for explanation of all that is happening in my life. Many of my blog followers will say things to me like “I loved your last blog, can’t wait to see what’s next!” And then I start to feel the pressure; the pressure to keep up; the pressure to know what to say.
But then I remember:
“He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together.” (Colossians 1:17)
And I am fiercely reminded that God is before everything. His Word is my direction. And there are times in my life when I’m not going to have an explanation. God is before this world, and always will be. And if I feel that I cannot “keep up” with this world, it’s probably because I should be focusing more on the God who created it; I should spend less time wasting my time with the mindless activities that I do everyday, and instead on the task that God has set before me. When I’m at a loss for words, it’s probably time to led His Words do the talking.
And secondly, I am reminded that God is before my financial support raising situation. He is quite simply more important. It is easy to look at this huge amount I need and crumble in fear. But the reality is, God is holding it together; even better, he already has it planned out. And with that I would like to say a huge thank-you to each and every one of you that has supported me spiritually, emotionally, and financially. I am beyond grateful for you. I am prayerfully asking God to meet my first financial deadline of $3500 by the end of this month. I’m only about $600 away! This will allow me to keep preparing for my launch date. So, if you feel led to please go to the “support me” tab, or share this with someone you know who you think may be interested in joining my support team.
And lastly, please let me know if you have any prayer requests. I would love to be praying for you.
Thank-you so much for reading and following my journey!
In Christ,
Casey
