Well there goes my goal of trying to post a new blog every month. January was a hard month for me and February is starting out the same way. I am not alone in my feelings and that helps me. I have heard from many of my race mates that they are wondering what on earth they are doing. With so many of us asking the same question there is only one answer. We are under attack, and need all the prayer and support we can get. The devil does not want us going around telling people about God, that we are going to be traveling to 11 different countries to tell even more people about the love of our Father. So he sends anyone he can even our closest loved ones to try and sow the seed of doubt.
I was lucky to sit down with a great guy about a week ago. Pastor Brian talked with me and listened to all my fears and doubts. He said it all makes sense, this is a life altering decision and if I didn't have some moments of questions then he would be worried about me. Most people do not give up so much in their life to follow what the Lord has called them to do. That being said the Lord goes not ask that of all people either. He does not want us all necessarily to go on the world race. But wants us all to be willing to do his will with our lives, putting him first always.
So breaking it down. I have to have $3500 in my account before training camp in May. Then one very short month later $6500 in my account before I leave in July. I look at those totals and think what a lot of money. Then remind myself that for my Father that is nothing. $11,000 is nothing $15,500 is nothing I has faith that God will supply ALL me needs.
Matthew 6:25-34
25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 27 And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28 And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
