I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14
It is so easy to look at our trials, setbacks, failures, and misunderstandings as burdens. I do it everyday, several times a day.
I didn’t get enough hours of work this week: How am I gonna pay for things?
My car has many problems: What if I can’t drive anymore?
I don’t have all my gear for the race: What am I gonna do for training camp?
I didn’t meet my first financial deadline yet: What if I have to switch to a July route?
But yesterday, I had one of those days where my perspective was changed completely. I was almost in a car accident. I am still not sure how I didn’t get hit; I can only thank God that I was able to react quickly enough to avoid the car coming straight at me and swerve into the other lane, almost completely turned around. Afterwards, I was thinking how horrible it was that this almost happened. But then I realized how stupid that thought was; how wonderful it is that I wasn’t hurt.
I didn’t get enough hours at work this week: I have the necessary time I need for support raising and getting ready for my fundraiser next week.
My car has many problems: I HAVE A CAR.
I don’t have all my gear for the Race: I was able to buy a backpack from the money I raised at my yard sale and I LOVE it. The rest will come.
I didn’t meet my first financial deadline yet: I will meet it in God’s timing; and if I don’t meet it THAT’S OK. I am almost 5% funded; how AWESOME is that?!
This blog is short and sweet. But it’s such a big perspective change.
Life is not a burden; it is a journey filled with God’s wonders.
thanks for reading.
I have a deadline coming up VERY SOON.
By September 26th I need $3500.
I need this in order to go to training camp and in order to launch in January.
I have about 4% of this deadline met.
