God, I don’t got this!
The way you are circulating in my life is astonishing. From scripture, to relationships, to prayer, to actions, to sharing of your beat within my heart is turning pages in this chapter. Your ways of working in my life is all too much to express and share, but I couldn’t help but to share this message.
Today You came at me with residence of comfort. You have spoken to me through friends in my hometown, scripture, my squad mates, and my pastor. Taking this message in reverse. I am using Pastor Ernie’s words from his sermon tonight, “God, I don’t got this.”
This week I began delivering my support letters. I have not received horrible responses so far, but I have received positive and negative input from some. I knew this would be expected. Some questions and statements – Aren’t you afraid? People are being killed for their beliefs in some countries. What if you get Ebola?
This morning the scripture I turned to during our peaceful time together was my feelings found in writing.
Psalm 56:10-11 – In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise – in God I trust and am not afraid. What can man do to me?
I am not afraid because I have you Lord! I am not afraid! . . . but I know I don’t got this on my own. I need You!!
(All I need is you Lord – by Adie)
Another beautiful paragraph to this story is a shared verse from a friend that touched her. Of which was then shared by a squad mate in a group text message today the same exact verse. Out of the 31,102 verses in the Bible and the same one was presented to me 2 times in 1 week. I am listening God!
Isaiah 41:10-13 – So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
(Oh no You Never Let Go through the calm and through the storm – by Matt Redman)
I know this is going to be the most difficult, transforming, and exciting experience of my life. With that said I need God, prayers, and genuine relationships full of support to help me through my adventure.

Heavenly Father thank you for comforting me, for speaking to me through Your word, and the message sent from others. I rest easy knowing my faith in You will guide my ways. Lord I pray for the courage and strength to reach out and let Your words and actions to flow freely through me. I love you! In Jesus name I pray.
Amen
