This past month has been one heck of a doosey!! For starters I have been working a lot…and I mean A LOT….I work security right now and so my schedule is always fluctuating form overnights to non overnights and it switches every week. I found myself in a place where all I was doing was complaining about the fact that all I do is work and not really liking what I was doing (they seemed to be in correlation haha). God showed me something though, like he tends to do.
For the past couple of weeks I worked straight overnights, 11 pm to 7 am. I started praying and specifically praying about the world race and the finances to come through. In this time of prayer I came to the realization that my complaining was drowning out God trying to speak to me. He showed me that in this season before I leave for the race he is pushing me to trust him more and more. just a couple of months ago I lost my job and was unemployed for a month..talk about God showing up when asking to learn to trust with finances huh? He provided for me then and now, but I am in a place where my sleep schedule is chaotic and all I do is work so fundraising is something I haven’t had the chance to do. In these weeks of prayer I came to all this and now I am working on not doing that.
just a couple days ago i woke up and emailed like 25 churches from here in the city. Most I have never stepped foot in, but I woke up with the idea. Low and behold one of the churches has already contacted me saying they are passing my request onto their financial board and now I am just waiting to see if God opens the door, This makes Two churches that I am waiting to hear back from, one told me it wasn’t there thing but passed it along anyway. God has really been doing some amazing stuff, and I feel blessed that these churches would take the time to put me in there prayers, and also possibly be a financial blessing!!
I know that so far my blog posts have been about money, but it has been one of the biggest things holding me back from where I believe God has me, and for the first time in my life I have actually been trying to change that! It is crazy because so far I have had no money that has come in, but I’m not giving up on my God because he is everything to me, and I am waiting on him and that’s the best place I can be!!
