If my heart is overwhelmed
And I cannot hear Your voice
I hold on to what is true
Though I cannot see
..Many time I find myself listening to the lies of the enemy more that I should. I find myself believing I am so unworthy of what God has blessed me with, so unequipped for what He has planned for me..
If the storms of life they come
And the road ahead gets steep
I will lift these hands in faith
I will believe
…I remind myself of scriptures like James 1:3 "..because you know that the testings of your faith develops perseverence.." and Luke 17:6 " …If you had faith like a mustard seed, you would tell this sycamore tree, 'Be uprooted, and be planted in the sea,' and it would obey you…"…
I'll remind myself
Of all that You've done
And the life I have
Because of Your son
…We take for granted so many times, the power we were given when Jesus died on the Cross and was raised from the dead. But the same power that left the tomb empty, is the same power that lives in us…
Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours
Lord I'm forever Yours
Mountains high or valley low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am Yours
I am forever Yours
…Jesus my prayer is this, that above all else, through this entire journey, I become so engulfed in your presence, people no longer see me as Leslie. Instead they see me as Your salt and light to this dying and hurting world…
I pray that people would realize how vital it is that God's people go out into the world and share His love. His unconditional, everlasting, sweet, powerful love.
My heart has been so heavy lately with unnecessary burdens. Worries i need not care about. 1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your worries on him, because He cares for you."
So here is my heart, transparent as ever:
In 5 weeks I leave for Atlanta , GA for a week to attend "training camp". A month after that I leave for Launch, and then it is into the Missionary world I go. My main focus right now is on fundraising and prayer.
I am in constant prayer, for the countries, for my team, for myself.
As for fundraising, so far I have raised just over $3,000! PRAISE GOD! I need to raise another $500 in the next 3 weeks, and another $3000 by the beginning of June, bringing my total needed by June to $6500. God's got this, He has provided thus far, and He will continue to until my account says $15,500, and still after that.
Please continue to be involved in this journey with me, weather it be prayerfully or financially, or both. I am so grateful for the people that God has placed in my life through this.
