Oh hello 1:30 AM. Why are you not 5:35 PM yet?
Confused yet? Sorry.
Today (Saturday, June 30th) is the day that I leave Louisville, KY. I am leaving home, I am leaving comfort and security. I am leaving family, friends, career, basically everything. The large majority of my possessions have been sold. I have almost no money in the bank (that's another story of God taking me outside my comfort zone and into dependence for later).
I am empty – Of the world, at least.
But I am FULL of God. And I am ready to pour out myself, and into others: my team, my squad, and all of the people that God will put in my path this year.
I am full, because God has provided exactly what I needed, and He has been wonderfully enough for me. I have not lacked in food, in shelter, in company, or in the funds necessary to depart. A couple months back, prior to training camp, I had asked God for an amount that I should be praying for, and He responded. He told me to pray for $7,750, and by departure. I only needed $6500 to depart, so I couldn't believe that He was telling me to pray for more, when not that much was coming in at the time. This amount would put me at having half of my funds raised by Launch.
And guess what? HE DID IT!
As of this week, I am half way funded for The World Race, and I praise God for stirring up my suppoter's hearts to partner with me and be a part of God's growing kingdom in this. To you, my supporters, I say thank you, thank you, thank you. For believe in what God is doing in this season. For believing that He has called me to this. I am blessed and humbled by your support and your love!
So now is the time to go. I am all packed, my backpack, day pack, and my viola weigh less than I thought they would. Yay! And I am beyond excitement in seeing my F Squad family again, and to begin the process of launch. I do not know what God has in store these next few months, but I know that they will be full of challenges, full of joy, some hard times included, but that they will definitely be full of God.
I don't know HOW God will provide in the coming months, but I TRUST that He will. All I ask, is that you consider being a part of His provision. The next deadline is in October, at which I must have $11,000 in my account.
I see God breaking down barriers, softening hearts, and being glorified this year. I see people who are lost in their world, being found in the Kingdom, and being given a sonship and daughtership through the salvation offered by Christ. I see my team and my squad bound tightly together, as a cohesive body of Christ, full of love for each other and for the people we will meet.
Please consider being a part of this vision. It's gonna be great, it's gonna be love, it's gonna be full of Him. You can support me by clicking the "Support Me" link at the left hand side of this page.
Are you ready? Are you as excited to begin this journey as I am? I hope so!
LET'S DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
