Hello everyone!!!
I hope everyone is doing great! I am pretty excited to write this entry as the Lord has been moving and working through me!!! If you read my other post I talked about how I felt as if my faith was dwindling away and felt overwhelmed with all of this fundraising I have to do. It is hard and it sucks but its also something I have now learned to enjoy. Yes at times I do not know what to do but then I remember that the Lord commands us to leave everything up to Him.
At times its hard to just say ok here you go God but its what we are called to do. Its more than that and its great to see how when we are obedient to Him, he quickly shows up! These past few days have been great because I have now seen what it means to truly trust and have faith that God provides.
Last night I was watching the latest sermon of Elevation Church and Pastor Steven preached on Psalm 37:23-
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.”KJV
Through the Holy Spirit, Pastor Steven made some great points on how we wants to follow His ways but are not in the right order. We always think that for every single thing that goes on in our life or every decision we make, we need to ask God first. Like Pastor said, he is not saying to not talk to God about decisions but we do not have to worry so much about making the correct decision. Its about walking in HIS WAYS and trusting and knowing that the decision you make, God will be there right beside you! He is the one who orders your steps! Believe with full heart that when you make a decision it is because God is prompting you to make it! This also means to submit in His ways! Most of us want to walk in His promise but are not submitting to what He is calling us to do!
That is where I was failing! I was failing to loose my pride and to reach out to more people about supporting what God was calling me to. I was failing to fully submit to His orders which is exactly why the money was not coming through. My worries of being annoying to others with this was causing my downfall. My faith dwindling and rocking in the winds was super shaky. How was I expecting to be used by God in many nations if I was not trusting that He would provide for me here?! How in the world was He going to send me off if I was shaky knowing that when we call him good good father, that is exactly what we mean!!!
I was giving God only what I felt like I needed to give Him but what He wanted was my best so that He in turn would bless me farther than what I could ever imagine!! There were steps I needed to take before I could start seeing the money come in and once I took that step, He delighted in the step I took and in return showed just how much He loved me!!!
Yes I still need a lot of money but I have faith that He is and will be providing it. He has all the money in the world and $3900 in 10 days is nothing to Him and $17400 is not either!! A recent song I have been listening to by Upper Room caught my attention.
“Your never gonna leave me dry
No you don’t, No you don’t….”
He is faithful! He stays true to His promise and what He has spoken shall come to pass!!!! Seeing him pour out His love these past few days is humbling! I can not wait until the day when my cup runeth over and when I see my fundraising total go above and beyond of what I was expecting!
My God will NEVER EVER let me down! He is my King and what belongs to Him also belongs to me! He calls me His child and I call Him my Father! A Father who knows me and who will never let a single drop of tear go to waste! He is a good good father! Through this storm I worship Him and lift Him up because as I do this He fights my battles and delights in the ways I walk!!!!
