“Humbly I bring myself before you.
I am not perfect nor do I try to be. It is those little things of life that I think are insignificant, or are flaws, or that I overlook that the heavenly Father turns into a miraculous gift or a blessing. Please do not overlook the hymn from my heart today.
Physically I am exhausted.
Emotionally I am drained.
Mentally I am lacking.
Spiritually I am seeking.
There are things in life of which I am certain. One is the Holy Trinity. I know God exists. I have a relationship with Him. We have our ups and downs, mostly I have the ups and downs He is the one constant thing in my life. This weekend was suppose to be a miraculous showing and outpouring of the work of the Father and his calling for me on this trip. With the weather and economic issues there is no financial backing currently allowing me to depart on the race.
Another certainty- I know I am called and called by God to do this World Race.
I feel like I have covered all corners and filled in all the cracks. I have called supporters and visited with supporters, and thrown support raising functions. The funds have just not come in. This literally leaves me with very few options. In 12 days I am to get on a plane with 51 other believers and fly to the Philippines and begin the spiritual journey of a life time. This is not just a spiritual journey for myself, but also for the nations. I know whole heartedly that this a calling and a movement of the Holy Spirit. The work that is being done by the Lord and that is about to be done by the Lord is boggling.
It would be adolescent of me to fail to acknowledge my own disappointment that the October team might not be for me, and that I will have to postpone my trip until January. I don’t want this, and I don’t believe this is what the Lord has planned. I, however, am not God, and His ways far surpass my own understanding.
There is a squad that I fully love and trust. There is a team that I am on with whom relationships have started to grow, unity has been established, and transparency has occurred. There is an understanding that we can truly be ourselves and truly be loved. We are a family. We are brothers and sisters of the most high God. Who would want to give that up?
I believe in God’s timing completely. This week I need a miracle to occur and by this week I mean these next couple of days. The power of the church, God’s people, is unstoppable when united in cause. My team has hit their knees and clasped their hands . They have outstretched their arms , cried out, and interceded on my behalf. Will you?
Will you pray about financially supporting me today?
Will you pray about God using you to answer the outcry of my heart?
Will you pray that my ears will be opened to hear which season of my life I am to go on this trip among the nations?
Currently my support account is at $3,142.00. I am at an extremely crucial point in my journey. It is decision time. I need to have $5,258 more dollars in my account this week in order to leave with the G-Squad. This will happen with people like you (readers, supporters, friends, racers, and believers) all coming together to fuse together the call of a daughter, the heart of the nations, and the leading of a Father.
In Love and Faith,
Lindsay”
