I’m sitting on my bed, after a long day. I’m looking at a journal my mentor gave me when I first found out about the race. This is the journal for my journey before I leave.
As I’m reading what I’ve wrote, its so amazing to see how far I have come.
It starts out ” 12/21/14 – Today I was driving up the mountain with my friend when I got a unexpected phone call from The World Race. As they began to tell me I was excepted for the trip, my jaw dropped and I was filled with emotion. Right away I called my mentor, Sarah and my parents. I cant wait to see all God in these next few months!”
“12/25/14 – Today I told all of my family about going on the trip. What an emotional day it has been! Grandma and Papa made the VERY FIRST donation of $20.00!”
through the last few months amazing things have happened. But it hasn’t been close to easy. I’ve been struggling with keeping God at the center. I haven’t been spending the time I should in His presence. I’ve had a hard time remembering my purpose in this season, I’ve had doubts and worries. But today God is specifically showing me how I don’t have to worry. I don’t have to have any doubt. I need to completely trust Him because he WILL provide. He WILL protect me, and most importantly, He WILL NEVER leave me, even though I might have left Him. This has been a season of ups and downs but I wouldn’t change it for anything.
Looking back I get to see where I started and where I am today. I will say that God has amazed me and blessed me immensely!
on 2/6/15 I had raised $400.00
on 2/9/15 I had raised $1,500.00
and today 4/24/15 I have raised $8,000.00!!
God is good! only $8,000.00 to go!
If you have supported me spiritually through prayer or financially I want to give you a BIG thank you! Without you this would have been so much harder. Through you God has given me a new testimony. Through you God has opened my eyes to the wonders and blessing in my life. Thank you!
If you could continue to pray for me. Specifically that I do keep in constant communication with God. That I do find some time to be still in His presence. and that I continue to trust Him and not worry.
You rock! <3
