I will be lying if I were to say thought of doubts don’t run a marathon through my mind.
Some miles go a little something like this:
- Daphnee, are you crazy, 11 months?
- You don’t know the Bible that well enough to preach to others?
- You are not qualified.
- How are you going to raise $15,500 and make sure all other expensive are met?
- You weren’t able to go in September 2012, what makes you think you will be able to go in July 2013.
- What are you going to do about this, what about that?
And the worries go on for miles and miles.
But I am reminded of the following:
-
Gods’ plan for me is better than mine for me
- ‘As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.’ Isaiah 55:9
-
God does not call the qualified, He qualified the called
- ‘But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.’ 2 Corinthians 12:9
-
He will provide all my needs
- ‘And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.’ Philippians 4:19
-
On God’s timing, not on my time
- ‘For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.’ Habakkuk 2:3
-
“The more you pray, the less you'll panic. The more you worship, the less you worry. You'll feel more patient and less pressured.” Rick Warren
- ‘Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’ Mathew 6:34
I am also reminded how bless I am to be surrounded by supportive and loving people who share my vision of spreading LOVE around the world.
I want to thank those who have supported me (both financially and prayerfully) so far. I cannot tell you how much blessing you have been to me through this process.
Thank you so much.
Daphnee
