Last weekend I had the pleasure of going to an event called Woman Camp with my church. This is essentially 500 women in the woods, worshiping and drinking wine for a 36 hour period.
It was amazing.
I went into the weekend with full anxiety as I did not know anyone in my group beforehand and had only met them once briefly. I was thinking about my fear for that weekend, as well as my fear about the race and how they are one in the same.
The major take away that I got from this last weekend was from the worship music we celebrated in. We repetitively sung “I’m no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.” This has been one of my favorite worship songs for a while now. These lyrics and that time in the barn with that prayer fueled by 500 women changed me. I realized in that moment how true those words are. The fears and anxieties I had been feeling about the race and fundraising and camp and school and work and life are pointless because of Him. His plans for me are greater than the small things I’m stressing about. We are given that freedom as His children to pass off the things we cannot handle and allow the plan that was set for us to shine through. This week my goal is to celebrate in that, take a deep breath and give it to God
While things aren’t happening as quickly in regards to fundraising as I would like, this journey is teaching me to trust Him more. It is showing me what diligence looks like and also allowing me to learn that I am not a patient person and should maybe work on that. 🙂
Life is good, God is too.
Prayer requests:
For my squad as we fundraise and get to know each other more.
For the countries we will be traveling too.
For my family and their health.
God Bless!,
Emily
