I like blog posts. Not many people read them and that’s ok. I don’t blame them. I’m not much of a reader myself, but I know that the few people who do read these posts care a whole lot about what is going on in my life and mind. I really appreciate that. So thank you for reading this.
ANYWAY. Man, have these past few months been crazy! God has been teaching me so many new things and my life is changin so much. I’ll be honest that it is hard sometimes, but not in ways that people think. Everyone keeps asking if I’m scared about leaving or nervous about fundraising or worried for any reason. The simple answer is no. No, I feel completely fine and confident in wat God is doing in my life and all I have is excitement on this new journey, and I can only thank God or that peace He’s given me.
So, if everything is going so great with fundraising and my emotions, then what is so hard about preparing for the World Race, you might ask. It’s my focus. Yes, its exciting and its good to be excited, but I constantly find myself losing focus on what I’m excited about. I get so caught up in fundraising, how much money do I have now? What should I pack? When should I film this video? Or post this picture? What’s going on in my squad mates lives? PREP! PREP! PREP!
Don‘t get me wrong, its great to prepare BUT where is God in all of this? I get so caught up in the money, I forget to praise the one who provided the money. Or spending all my time looking into what to bring and where I will be going that I don‘t make time to pray for His wisdom and guidance. I may be spreading God’s love around the world, but if I put too much of my focus on the world, I lose focus on God’s love.
God has been pushing me to focus for a while now. Wether that be through sermons, encouragement, or devotions. God wants my attention on Him and that’s what I plan on giving Him. I can’t do that alone. I NEED the Holy Spirit to give me the strength and drive to follow Him. I NEED your prayers during this time that I may have a strong relationship with the father. And I NEED your support. Forget about they money for a second and help support me with your Godly love and encouragement during this time. Help fill me with thoughts of Jesus and if you see me losing focus, I challenge YOU to challenge ME! I need Godly disapline and friends in my life, especially during this time of transition.
Thanks again for reading this. I know its a lot and I know you are busy. Don’t forget your prayers have power, and always remember to focus on what matters. Jesus.
