It has been three weeks since I began this journey!
Within three weeks I have accumulated my tent, pack, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and half the clothes/shoes I will need. I have began putting together my support letters, and have hosted a fairly successful “garage” sale at a local outdoor market raising $100. The reaction from my family and friends has been nothing but excitement and joy for me. I have connected with my team member on Facebook, and boy am I part of an amazing group. Everything has just fallen into place. I have felt God’s guidance and blessing on this journey and know it is what He has truly called the next year of my life too.
With all the ups comes the downs. This last week has been hard. My body is in full stress mode and it is so hard to fight. I move in ONE week, and have to get most everything I own ready to be stored for a year. I have tons that needs to be done for the World Race..my mind cannot stop thinking about all that I need to do. The town I live in keeps flooding due to the crazy amount of rain we have gotten. Did I mention I’m moving in a week?!
ALTHOUGH there is much to worry about I am determined to stop this pattern and fight it head on. I have the greatest of all warriors on my side: my God. He has gone before me. He will be my PEACE.
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27
Would you please pray with me? Pray that I can better trust in our Lord as I go through this crazy time in my life. Pray that I will not allow the enemy to creep in and steal my peace and joy. Pray for my move. Pray for guidance. Pray as I begin fundraising. Last pray for courage and strength.
