A common theme in my life this year has been this: God Provides.
I struggled with giving God the metaphorical car keys. I let him sit up front with me, but I wanted to be driving. When I announced that I was going to begin the journey of preparing to go on the world race, I was in the drivers seat. I had a fun job, and wasn’t worried about money. Somehow a few days after that announcement, I found myself unemployed and with no money. I was a mess. I talked to my parents and a few other mentors in my life and they all reminded me of the same thing – God will provide. One night, I handed the keys over to God. I whispered out loud, while trying to fall asleep “I’m giving this to you, because I can’t do this.”
And guess what guys.
God provided. Again and again.
Flash backwards a year, I was newly single, confused and scared of what my future might look like. I was unsure of why I had ended things with Freddy and I was out of a job. I got an offer to move to CO and I took it, even though I didn’t know what it would mean for me. Flash forwards and I am in Colorado, with Freddy as my fiance and the World Race ahead of me. God has provided. Over and over again, He has given me what He knows I need. I often think things should be a certain way, and then God shows up and proves that His way is far better.
So, to my faithful friends who have loved me so well, thank you!! Because of your contributions and support, and prayers, I have reached my 2nd fundraising deadline a month ahead of time. God has provided. I only have $6,617 dollars to go. Get the theme of this post yet? He is faithful. I think I like life better with God in the driver’s seat.
