I’ll be honest, it’s really easy to worry about not getting the funds for the Race. Like, I know I’m supposed to be confident in the Lord and His provision, but that’s easier said than done, especially when you get more verbal support (which I really appreciate) than financial support.
When do I have the right to be concerned? When is it okay to give up?
As I sit here writing this with tears in my eyes, I can’t help but be think about that possibility.
Let’s look at the facts: I only have $275 raised so far and I’m supposed to get $18,100 ($5,000 of which is needed in 4 months or I can’t go), and I am currently jobless and getting turned down left and right, living in my parents’ house, and the only money I have coming in is from photography, which is next to nothing.
So, if anyone has a right to worry about funding, it’s me.
But you know what? I actually have no right whatsoever to worry about this.
Do you know why? I serve Jehovah-Jireh, the One who sees my needs and provides for them! He IS faithful! He WILL provide my needs! And this WILL bring Him glory in the process!
It’s easy to talk about having faith that He provides, but it’s a whole different story when you have to put those word into action.
Matthew 6:31-32, and so many other verses talk about how he provides, so I’m going to trust that He WILL!
He is so faithful and so giving to me, and I have no right to doubt Him now. So, if any of you don’t believe in miracles, keep a close eye on me, because it’s going to take one for me to get funded. And wow, what a testimony of His power and provision after us!
