It is past midnight.
There are very few days left until training camp. And I have had a lot of peace. Thanks be to Jesus and a sister in Christ who prayed for me on Sunday night. I have had a few surprises with donations and I am starting to believe that anything can happen.
A member of my home-group spoke on the whole chapter of Romans 8. The entire thing was totally necessary for me to hear. Verses 5 and 6 stuck out to me about being wrapped up in the physical reality when the spiritual reality is so much greater and so much more real. And living to the Holy Spirit is life and peace. Those were definitely two ingredients missing from my WR journey up to this point.
And God also directed me to Corinthians 7:20 Let each one remain in the same calling in which he was called. Which is God resounding a huge “HELLLLOOOO!” *nudge* to me. It goes on to speak of being a slave to Christ. Being free in this life, but being bound to Christ. And a gent at the study made a good point that the chains that are of this life are heavy and we are dragged down by their burden. But the chains given by Christ are not only light, they also lead us. They help us along. It takes so much longer when we live pushing away God and what He wants for our lives.
I cried a lot yesterday. I am doing better today.
All of that to say, save some miraculous (online) donation in the next two days, I will have to postpone my trip until the summer. Which is not to say that God cannot do these things. Because He can. I am just learning to be peaceful with whatever He has for me.
And, yes, I am still holding my breath for a miracle.
Only God truly knows what the next few days will hold.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for. It is the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11 1
