Why do I worry? Why do I get scared? And why in the world, do I think I have to do it all by myself?
Last week was really stressful as I worried about making my next financial deadline on Dec. 17th (Which I was needing $2000 at the time) how in the world was I gonna get $2000 in 2 weeks? As I worried about having enough money to get the rest of the gears I need, as I worried about packing and figuring out what I want to bring, as I worried that I was quitting my job’s to early, and as I worried about every little details about everything.
Then Sunday came around and I went to church. (Harvest Bible Chapel in Traverse City)
And I heard a really good sermon. It was about God keeping His promise’s and that we should be amazed that God would even make promises to us. But He does, because He loves us. As long as I believe that God loves me and that I am forgiven by the blood of Jesus Christ, then I should have no fears or anxiety. God is bigger then all of that. So why waste time worrying?
So, I was decided to not think about money or anything else that has me worrying for the rest of that Sunday. It was freeing and I had so much peace! On Monday I received news that I was given a large check! God is so good! I knew that He was working in this and that it was all gonna work out. Then on Tuesday I got an email saying that I need to be in San Francisco on Jan. 1st at 8am. I was thinking “Whoa, wait a sec. I thought that I would need to be in GA for the launch. It’s gonna cost me 3 times as much to get out to CA. I can’t afford this, this is to much. What in the world did I get myself into?” In less then a day I went back to worrying and doubting. How can it be so easy to forget God’s goodness, to forget how He provided countless times in the past?
Once again, God, in His love and goodness reminded me that He’s bigger then all of this. He reminded me to look at it from His perspective. He created the universe with just words. He calmed the sea with a command. He fed the 5000 with just a few fish and bread. Raising money is nothing compared to what He has done in the past and what He’s done in the past is easy peesy to Him. I just need to obey, have faith and believe in Him. God will take care of the rest.
Since I wrote this out a few days ago trying to work on finally posting it, God has brought in $2500 in past 3 days! Plus my travel expenses out to San Francisco! I am amazed at God goodness in this! I’m so excited to see how God will continue to provide and what He will do on this journey. And you are a part of this journey too. Thank you for your prayers and support!
I will post more details about our travel plans soon.
Praises-
God. For just being who He is.
Went from needing $2000 to making my deadline in 3 days.
Prayers-
I will need $8,742 before July to get to 100%
Travel to San Francisco and to Thailand right after that.
That I would be prepared- Spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. That I would have an open heart to let God do His work in and through me and my team.
