This week, I was so blessed to have the chance to meet with another girl going on the race next July. I have been praying that God would show me some friends and people to talk to in Rochester, because having been away since I started college, I don't know very many people here anymore. So the other day I received an email from Brittany, who lives in Rochester too! We met and had coffee and wonderful conversation and found out we have much in common. God is so good!
This week, I was unfortunately let go at my job. I was so incredibly stressed and upset- I have been applying to so many jobs and I really thought I was where God wanted me… guess not. I spent 2 days crying and being so upset and wondering why this had to be happening now?! When I am trying to save money and get ahead on student loans, why would I lose my job now? But everytime I started to get upset again, I felt God reminding me that He is in control, and that I am NOT supposed to worry, for tomorrow will worry about itself (Matthew 6:34). Once I made a decision not to worry, I felt so relieved. Then, the owner at the wine bar that I pick up random shifts at, asked me to pick up some shifts for him- how perfect God's timing is.
I have had the song Come Thou Fount stuck in my head for last week, and I realize now it has been reminding me that God is the fount or source of EVERY blessing, He is my ebenezer or rock of help. Click here to listen to what I've been listening to!
Yesterday I sent out 130 fundraising letters, I am praying that God will touch my family and friends' hearts and call them to support me- financially or with prayers 🙂 Thanks for reading!
