Hey guys,
So I will just be honest, I have kindda fallen into this funk when it comes to fundraising! I mean it’s not that I feel like God is telling me not to go or that I don’t think it will happen. I have every intention of working my butt off even if that means I have to get a third job on the weekend in order to go on this trip. I just have been struggling more so financially. I keep thinking, if I can’t pay for right now or I can’t figure out how to pay these things off now, how in the world am I going to go on the race!? But I have to take a second and remind myself “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD” .
I KNOW that HE put the call for missions in my heart.
I KNOW that me finding out about the WR was no accident.
I KNOW that it was HIM who brought me to Texas.
I KNOW it was HIM who blessed me with jobs here.
I KNOW that WHERE GOD CALLS GOD PROVIDES!
I just need to keep my eyes on him and focus on what all this is preparing me for. We don’t know the struggles that we will be facing when on the field and I truly believe that we are being strengthened through trials we are facing right now. Right now is also an opportunity to show our faith and total trust we should have in HIM!
God has blessed me with a family that understands that this is what I want to do, an amazing squad who are all crazy encouraging and supportive! We haven’t even experienced life with each other yet and we are forming bonds that are huge! Our God is not a God who does not provide. He is a loving and gracious God who loves his children and wants to see the desires that he placed on our hearts lived out! I just have to remember daily that this is part of the process, not to grow weary and that it will all work out in HIS timing!
I would like to ask that whomever, if anyone, keeps up with this blog, that you would keep me in prayer. That I will keep my heart and mind fixed on him. That I would continuously remind myself that it is His timing and not mine! That I can grow and find strength in the trials that are laid before me between now and when I return home from the trip. That I not get discouraged or lose heart. Pray that I constantly let the LOVE and PASSION that I have towards these people all over the world and the opportunity to GO out and be His hands and feet be what guides me and makes my heart delight in the beauty of what God has and is orchestrating.
Thanks so much !! God Bless!!
