Last night I was chewing on this thought, ‘If Your strength is perfected in my weakness then Your strength is the one constant I know. I will always look to You.’ So much so, I slept on it.
Today while in the middle of writing yet another funding letter for Anthem, I began to feel an overwhelming feeling of, “I can’t do this.” It was true but I still had that small flicker of a hope that it would pull through. I was feeling like a failure in so many things; I began to allow the enemy to recall so many times where I haven’t finished something or dropped the ball. I know I can’t do it; But God can. I’m tired of relying on my ability or strength to accomplish something.
In the midst of my reverie, a package arrived from a dear friend of mine. I watched as my mom brought it up to the house and I instantly knew it was from this friend. We opened it up to find some sentimental things and two cards, one for the whole family, and one for just me. I felt so honored :) I pulled the card out and on the front is written the perfect verse for me to hear at that very second; Jeremiah 29:11- “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” So then I proceed to the inside and I see a folded check…My thoughts were: ‘OMG. What did she just do!?’ I read the card and I began to cry; she had written about sowing into my ministry. This was just the little piece of hope that I needed right in that moment. She is the first of the sponsors to sow into my future and I will be eternally grateful for that gift.
As I am writing, a storm is approaching; oh how I love thunder and rain! It reminds me of the vast power of God. With $5,250 left to go, I will finish with this thought: He is always on time…
