I am so thankful our Father is so patient with me, I keep having to relearn lessons, and I don’t think that will ever stop. One of the main reasons I love the World Race is that I know it will require full dependence on God. It’s about sharing the truth of the gospel and the freedom that comes with it, so that in a hopeless world people will know there is hope and they are loved by a Heavenly Father with a love that can never be matched. Nothing about that has changed, but what I didn’t realize was how difficult it would be to remember when I’m sitting in a pile of support letters. I couldn’t get past the idea that I was raising money for ME, because I need money, and I need gear, and I need vaccinations, and I want to be funded by the time I leave. But it’s not about me at all, it is completely up to God. I won’t ever have the perfect words that inspire people to support me and I’ll never sell enough mugs to get me around the world. I could never raise the money on my own, but here’s the catch, I was never asked to. Because this trip is not about me… I’m so humbled that He would take me along on the ride because it’s not my trip, it’s HIS. No matter when or how the money comes in, when it does, it will all be because of Him, and He alone will get the glory. When I am fully funded and when I get all my gear and vaccinations, I along with everyone else will know my Papa is showing off.
Eph. 3:20-Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Where my courage ends, let my heart find strength in your presence.
I still have to raise about $3,000 to meet my first deadline, if you feel led to support me financially please click the support me! link on the top left of the page. I would also appreciate prayer that I would be aware and willing to do whatever the Lord calls me to every day and that I continue to draw near to Him through this process. Thank you!!
