This morning as I read my Bible, and some of the book I am going through, all of the sudden all these thoughts flooded my head about what I need to do to get ready for my trip, and how there is no way I can accomplish them before its time. Thoughts like you have school loans, you have stuff you have to get rid of, you have too much money to raise, you cant do it. All these lies, out of nowhere. I got really discouraged, and for a moment I forgot that God is the creator of this universe, and He has called me to this trip. I even forgot after this last weekend I got after I received a large donation for me to go on this trip. The devil is good at making you forget very quickly the things God is doing. Just as all this was going through my mind, I read a verse from Luke 11 verse 13: “If then you who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.” God gave me His Holy Spirit when I asked God to change my life, and that is bigger and can conquer anything I am going through, even getting rid of things I need to get rid of, the money I need to raise, and the school debt I need to pay off. God convicted me heavily of this, and how I am spending time playing video games and doing different things when I could be meditating on God and His word and promises. So much so, that despite the super uncomfortableness(if thats a word) of it, God told me to sell my x box, get rid of the cable and even the internet in my house. Getting rid of the things that waste my time, and help me focus on the simplicity of life and being able to enjoy God’s promises more, and study more about Him. I dont want to say all this to sound like I am doing all this because I am super spiritual, cause Im not, but to show God conquers all, and all we have to do is get rid of the distractions and focus on His promises. They are so worth it!
