Blessings on blessings on blessings. That is what this week has been. Literally. The Lord answered some pretty big prayers and showed his intentional faithfulness once again.
The Lord really hears us. And he KNOWS us too. He knows our deepest desires, loves, and joys and cares about us individually. This week has been a testimony of God’s intimate character even in the midst of chaos.
This week; I received 3 donations, sold my xbox and my mini fridge (it adds up guys), sold SEVEN bracelets, got a job, and got to spend six hours with some of my favorite kiddos. But there is a catch… this all didn’t happen within the week. It was in one day.
One. Day.
I have been praying relentlessly for my fundraising journey and never really felt like God has been at work. But on Wednesday, He so clearly stepped in and showed me that this mission trip is truly in His will. His good, pleasing, and perfect will (Rom. 12:2).
But am I really following what God wants me to do?
This question is something that really causes distortion to spiritual discernment. I usually ask myself this question when I am fearful of a great task that is set before me.
A task like the WorldRace.
I am scared and I don’t know if I am capable of doing it. So I ask myself, is this really what God is calling me to do? Questioning God’s will is easier than obeying it. Running from fear is easier than conquering it.
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
I am following God’s will for my life. He is providing the funds for me through faithful friends, family, and followers of the Lord. And he WILL be with me wherever I go.
P.s. there’s no such thing as cliche bible verses
