So here I am at training camp.
I guess the one thing I have learned through this experience is that this blog truly isn’t going to be about me.
The experiences I write down and the stories I tell are not my own.
This is going to be a blog about the work the Lord is going to do through me and my teamates.
So really, this is a blog about God.
Which should excite you more anyways.
Cuz He is way more interesting than I could ever be.
I’ll open this blog with a story, then, about the faith of God and His grace on my life.
So it is a requirement that each Racer(So happy that I apply to that category now.) has to have reached a goal $3500 to training camp in order to attend training camp.
Welp, I bought my ticket to Georgia when I had only $1500, because I had faith in God’s provision.
When I arrived in Georgia, a day before camp, I had $2000 in my account. Yet still, I had faith.
When I arrived at training camp on a breezy Georgia day, I walked up boldly to the check in booth with a gigantic smile on my face and simply asked one of the World Race management that had been helping me through my fundraising, “So, what am I at now?”
So get ready for this…
“You still only have $2000 dollars.” (Haha, gotcha!)
Yet, for some strange reason, I still had faith God was going to provide.
I spoke to the financial managers at the camp and they graciously allowed me 45 minutes to provide the rest of the money.
So I got excited.
And I began to call person after person. Getting more excited with every call. One step closer to allowing my Dad(God) to provide a miracle.
And so He did.
45 minutes and $1700 dollars later I solidified my place in camp.
And God’s glory was able to be seen.
The point of the story is this.
Folks, If you do anything in line with the Father’s will and you have faith, He will provide.
He is a gracious God. Our every breath is an undeserved gift. And yet He wants to give us so much more.
Praise God and Hallelulah.
I’ll leave you with some lyrics that truly spoke to me this week:
“I may be weak, but your Spirit is strong in me,
My flesh may fail, but my God He never will.”
Amen.
