Even though I have made a YouTube video in my previous short blog post I am still unsure how to start these. So I will just dive into what I am feeling.
I FEEL SO OVERWHELMED! Mentally and spiritually I feel like I am just falling behind yet right where I need to me. Through this first month of being accepted I have come to realize a few things.
1) I do not need to be stressed over this, just on top of what is going on:
I know that the Lord has everything in control and that I do not need to be stressed over fundraising or training or even everyday things. However, I find myself getting caught up in my own head that I am falling behind on so many things, when I am in fact doing well for how busy I am.
2) I am so loved by people I do not even know yet:
In the past month of getting to know the people that I will be spending my time with on the race has been so reassuring. I knew going into this that I would be getting slightly out of my comfort zone but the love and support that we all just give one another is overwhelmingly reassuring to me.
3) I am overwhelmed by Him:
Time and time again God shows me that He does in fact know what is best for me and that He is in control so I do not need to worry. From the moment I was accepted people from everywhere, some that I do not even know want to show me support and tell me their stories about their race experience or people that they know. The Lord has just shown me that I do not need to worry about anything because He has everything under control.
Over the past year I have been learning to give my full trust to the Lord and while that can be a challenging task, He has always provided what I need. This whole process is about trust and I can not wait to see what God will do in this next month.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6
