My first World Race blog! Wooo! What a wild thing it is to realize the Lord takes control of our surrendered lives. At first, not having control over my life put me through so much stress and confusion. I like for everything to work out when I want it to work out and how I want it to work out. However, GOD’S PLANS ARE SO MUCH BETTER! In the previous couple of months I have taken in this beautiful truth harder than ever in my life. From stressing over raising money, to having recently graduated and feeling like nothing makes sense, I have gotten a handle on a greater amount of control these past few months than anytime in my life. Sign after sign and conversation after conversation has driven me back to this firm truth-I am not in charge, The Lord is in charge, and His designs are far better than my own. This fact which once gave me uneasiness now brings me harmony. What a comfort it is to realize I have lost control of my life! It’s beautiful to realize He knows everything about each part of my life before I do.
Also, fundraising!! Wow wow I feel so blessed. You beautiful people have already donated 54% and that seriously blows my mind! God seriously provides and it is so wild to watch Him take care and provide for me in this season of fundraising. God does nothing half way. He doesn’t quit! Please pray for me on this journey, and I ask for you to prayerfully consider donating, or sending this to someone you think would consider donating. I am so blessed to have this opportunity, and I cannot wait to see how the Lord uses, challenges, and grows me throughout this experience. I am so thankful for all of your prayers, support, and love. Thank you thank you thank you!
