First let me apologize for being so awful at blogging, an not doing it enough. I am and will continue to try and be better at updating. Also I want to thank my Church First Baptist Russell, for the support that has come from them.
The last month has been a whirlwind of events and emotions. If I was to discuss it all you would be here for quite some time. Needless to say the Lord has been working, A LOT. He has been showing me that I can't do anything without Him. That does not just apply to the world race but life in general. I am lost an hopeless without Him. He is the only source of healing and peace, this world will break us at times, an the only way to heal is though Christ.
On top of all this the deadline for training camp has been rapidly approaching and passed. The deadline required $3,500 in our account on May 5th. I did not reach that Goal, on that day. Our amazing Lord has His time table an His way of working it all out though, An has He ever. As of today I have $5,250.65 only one week ONE week ago did I have $2,750. Think about this sit back an think for a moment, I was convinced I may actually not make the deadline. It hurt to ask my mobilizer what if I don’t meet the deadline, we discussed I would switch to September. Not long after that I felt some peace, that before training camp, I would meet the launch deadline. $6,500 before I leave on the 19th for training camp. Now with a week an half left I only need $1,250 for that to happen an after having experienced this I entirely believe I will reach the $6,500 goal before the 19th.
Also only a week ago I did not have a way to training camp, now as of today I have a flight to and from camp, I was extremely stressed over this as I already did not have the funds for training camp and all the sudden no way there either. Then my step mom calls me having graciously bought me a plane ticket to and from camp.
I can't begin to explain the radical whirlwind of emotions I have went though this past month. Right now though, I am in pure amazement. Tomorrow I will speak to Christian Youth Association in Coal Grove,Ohio. I have also had others make pledges an a small group who are making a donation that I have no idea of the amount. I have went full force in selling my things, and as I do the Lord keeps showing up with donations.
If you are on the Race going on the Race or just have doubts, think for just a minute, I had convinced myself I really may not be leaving in July. Then God changed that in my heart first. I trusted him, that He would provide. He did just that, and much much more.
In one week, to go from $2,750 to $5,250.65 is a amazing thing and only happens one way, God.
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
