Let me preface this blog for y’all—it has been a rough couple of weeks.

For some reason I get these crazy thoughts that the Lord is going to begin doing big things when we launch and leave for the race.  I forget that the God I love is the God of yesterday, tomorrow and TODAY.  God IS doing some incredible things today, and I refuse to allow anyone or anything to distract me from that (okay, so I have already and probably will get distracted from that fact–but I am going to try really really hard, the Holy Spirit helps).  

So I guess this blog is going to be short and sweet, raising money sucks.  It is so hard not allow my PRIDE to be the reason for the money that is and is not coming in.  God does not need my money, your money, or even me to go on the race.  But He is choosing to use our money, our time, and our energies to spread the Gospel of his LOVE around the world.  PRAISE THE LORD!!  So today I will not let Satan use money to distract me.  Today I will not let my pride shape my emotions.  God is good yesterday when a little came in, today when I have no idea how much will come in and tomorrow when He WILL provide the means for me to go on the race, how do I know this?  Because the Lord has called me to this and He is not a tease, HE IS FAITHFUL


God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is FAITHFUL.
