Something that seemed so unattainable three months ago is becoming more and more a reality.
When I first applied to the World Race, I saw the price and my eyes got BIG. I knew what to tell myself: "God can provide." I still had so much doubt. I knew God COULD provide, but would He do that for ME? I still wasn't sure that this was the adventure God was directing me to. I was so scared of the things I would have to encounter on this journey. And I certainly didn't have $15,500 to support myself for the year. So I just went on the idea of well, if it works out great, if not then I guess God has another plan in mind.
Then I started meeting some of my squad mates over Facebook. And I was falling in love with them. I met them at camp and was falling in love with them even more! The day before my first deadline, (if you have kept up with my blog) you know that my account was $2000 short. Looking back, it was a strange feeling I had: first, I freaked out but then, I just knew I was leaving in September and that God would make it happen. And He did!! I never once thought that I was not going to go on the race. Even through my doubts with the finances, I never once thought about throwing in the towel.
So get excited for some great news:
In these few short months, I am officially halfway funded for the whole trip!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you to all my supporters and prayer warriors! God is teaching me so much through just the preparation of this journey.
I'M NOT IN CONTROL!!!!!! And I am so glad that I'm not because I've given the reigns to my life over to the Creator of the universe. He directs me, He takes care of me, He loves me, He provides for me, He equips me. I have this ginormous letter from Him telling me all these things. Why didn't I listen to it before?
