One of my friends sent me an amazing challenge to go along with my fundraising. For the next 100 days I will have different questions to answer honestly about challenges of fundraising along with scriptures to help me and other around me know what I am facing and what the word of God says about those things! I hate to ask for things, help and especially money and this has been a struggle for me as far as fundraising goes. I am commiting to not only answer these questions each day, not only read the scriptures that go with them but I am going to prayerfully ask for support in what God is calling me into with the world race. Please subscribe so you can follow my journey not just over the next 100 days but through out the process of getting ready to go into the missions field and while in the missions field.
Day 1: What uncertainties do you have? Ask God to guide you over these perceived obstacles.
Answer: The uncertainties I have are: will I be as close or closer to my new squad as I was to T squad? will my mom be ok when I leave? Do I have what it takes physically to do this journey? where are the funds going to come from since I am living as a missionary here in America? These are thoughts that pop in my head from time to time concerning this journey, I know I am called and that God always provides for you when you are called and that many times it is those that we don’t think can do it are the ones God calls so that He gets all the Glory! for example David and Goliath, Moses freeing the Israelites. In this process as I have asked God to help me through these, He keeps reminding me to Trust in Him and Lean not on my own understanding…. Through this Journey I have to Trust God with everything, my health, my family, money, safety and that I can do all that He has called me to go and do. It so is not about me but it is about bringing Him all the Glory and the Honor and the Praise. Its about sharing His light and Love with the world. All I can do is surrendor all and give God all of me, all my worry, all my doubt, and all my strengths. I know that I need to start to ask more and so that is what I am going to be doing over the next 100 days!
Todays Scripture is: 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we live by faith, not by sight”
It is so easy to live by sight, what you see in your bank account or lack there of. Or seeing the most fit person in the world walking 2 miles with a pack on their back, verses someone my size doing it. This is not what we are called to do, we are called to Trust God even when everything looks like it is stacked up against them. The word of God says that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength, which means I am going to Trust God that as I work towards the physical part of walking 2 miles with my pack that God is going to make it possible for me to do so in the time frame I need to. It also means I am going to Trust God for the funds for this missions trip and do my job of Asking because He tells me to.
So I am asking all my friends and family to prayerfully consider helping me to go on this missions trip. You are not only investing in me but you are investing into the kingdom and into each of the 11 countries I will be going to.
