God is Crazy.
Crazy awesome that is.
I am completely mesmerized by Him.
Let’s start back to last Tuesday.
I had just arrived home from Training Camp at 3am, Sunday morning, so on Tuesday I was still a little tired, but still extremely hype from training camp. The day started off wonderfully, I spent some time with one of my friends that day and everything was grand and wonderful, but afterwards I had to go back home and get work done. I get home and began writing out my to-do list for the Race and I began to feel crippled, nearly paralyzed.
How am I supposed to get all of this done?
I was trying to chip little by little at the looming mountain of errands and responsibilities and I felt like I was getting nothing done. (My heart went out to all those who are still working full-time jobs and preparing for the Race. God bless you all, my friends.)

I could feel myself slipping into despair. Hopelessness started to crawl under my skin as I stared at my blog homepage over and over and saw that I was still $2000 away from my deadline of $6500. I can’t not go on the World Race. That is not an option. Every fiber in my being was crafted to go and I want to go. I need to go!
So I was getting close to a breakdown and some emotional eating, but then after talking to an awesome woman from my church, Ms. Janice, I could feel my hope restoring. Then, after talking to one of the awesome women on my squad, Kalah, I could feel my joy climbing and that’s when I said, “Uh-oh, the devil is in trouble now; I’m getting my strength back.”

The rest of the week followed in a similar fashion, I was strengthened by different words from people on my squad, a hilarious video chat attempt with my team, encouragement from friends and family and to be honest, I was starting to get a little sassy with Satan by that point.
Bring it on Satan, I got prayer warriors covering me. Take your best shot!
However, I was not feeling this same confidence when Saturday night rolled around and I had little prepared for Sunday morning when I would stand before my church and share with them about the race and invite them to partner with me. The Powerpoint wouldn’t send via email and I couldn’t form what I wanted to say and I was tired, so Saturday night came and went and I had nothing.
But you best believe that God is really cool and likes to make a scene. He is the life of the party and He's absolutely incredible. Check back in tomorrow for my next blog post, so that you can hear what God did this past Sunday! Click here if you want to sign up and get blog updates to your email.
Also, I am still very far from my deadline and need monthly donors and one-time gifts!
