To my wonderful friends and family:
I am writing for prayer request! There is a lot involved in the preparation for the World Race and I am feeling the little bit of "anxiety" that comes along with it.
As I was sitting here thinking about the long TO DO list, I thought it would make me feel better to "write it out"…as in, share my thoughts, worries, anxieties, with the people who are supporting me through this process. For the most part, I enjoy writing and journaling, so I am already feeling better, just knowing that I can share my heart with you.
Although I am feeling overwhelmed, I am reminded of these truths:
- God has called me to go on this mission trip
- "I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me" -Phil. 4:13
- Doors have been opened beyond what I expected for this amazing opportunity
- My life is blessed with supporters who love God, who love me, and who love the mission!
- I know not be "anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, (I can) present my requests to God". -Phil 4:6
Please continue to pray for this mission, for my preparation, and also for my squad. We are all in different phases, and are struggling with some of the same tasks at different times.
I will also be praying for you, because I know that we all have days of defeat. I pray that whatever task you feel you can't handle, that God gives you the strength, courage, patience, determination, hope, etc. in order to accomplish the work.
God bless you today! 😀
