One word to describe my feelings about the race right now is: OVERWHELMED!
I am trying to finish ( really just to pass) my first semester of college, work two jobs, be a leader in my church, and somehow raise over $12,000 in less than 5 months.
Sometimes I wonder how I make it through the day! Sometimes I tell The Lord that I can’t do it all-that I am just plain tired-that I NEED to nap for a few days.
I am starting to sell t-shirts, having to set up for a garage sale, and trying to think of every person in the world that I can send support letters to. Sometimes when I look at how much money I have raised so far, which is almost $2,000, I get really discouraged. I will find myself asking The Lord, “what can I do more? What am I not doing enough of? Why don’t I have more money yet?” and continuously he replies with a simple, “It’s coming in MY time daughter. Be patient and trust me.”
GAHH! It gets me every time..
But when I stop and take a minute to think about where I will be this time next year or what amazing friends that I am already building relationship with; I get a different kind of overwhelmed.
The kind that makes tears well up in my eyes and my heart begins to feel such love for these people and this calling God has placed on my life. Such love for a God that first loved me so much that he would bless me with this kind of opportunity.
At the end of the day God has that kind of overwhelming feeling of love and joy overshadow my stress and worry. Prayers are still greatly appreciated!!
Also as I mentioned above I am selling t-shirts through Fund the Nations!
THEY ARE $20!!
If you would like to purchase one comment/fb message/or text me your t-shirt size and send me your money!
With love,
Taylor (:
