Hello y’all. 
I am sitting here listening to some fantastic music, Cap Diamante if you’re into French music, and looking out the window where it appears to be storming like crazy outside. The rain smells amazing and the wind is cool; I adore the rain. There is also something strangely calming about a storm like this. It reminds you that there are bigger things out there than your stresses; more powerful things out there. God is the ultimate example of this.
This storm has been a blessing for me. I feel as though I can and should let it wash my anxieties and worries away. The past few days I have stressed often about funding, not giving God the credit or control that he desires and deserves. In the midst of the storm my good friend called me and asked if I’d like to spend some time with her. A devout Christian she has been a blessing in my life; a wonderful role model for how God can work through us and what it means to be a Godly woman. She and I sat and discussed the fundraising thing. She mentioned that I may need to make things a little more personal, show you who I am and why I feel this trip is what God wants.
That being said……allow me to share a few things with you. 
This is me. I was assisting (mainly by standing there) my best friend while she worked on her profile for her photography business.
My adorable little one. She is my pride and joy.
God has been beyond good to me. He has always been gracious and has never failed me. I find myself being frustrated with the anxieties of fundraising. I am finding it harder than normal to give my concerns to God, but I get even more flustered from the fact that I am being consumed by these anxieties than I do by the anxieties themselves. God deserves and calls me to lay my worries at his feet; I seem to struggle with that when it comes to the World Race. I can tell that he is already working in me. I have no even made it to training camp and he is already challenging me and helping me to be the person he desires I be. It amazes me how I can feel him already changing me. I cannot imagine the impact this trip is going to have on my life. I can only hope that he can also use me to impact others. I hope this blog helps you to get to know me. I have T-shirt and necklaces coming that can be bought to help with funding. You can also donate if you hit the “support me” button. Thank you for all your support and love.
Thanks for reading.
