It IS true He is always on time

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…

Freshhhhh

So this is my first blog. I'm just warning you now....I might not be very good at this:/ I'm so used to writing personal stuff in journals and keeping it to myself. I do know that it's so important to be transparent and honest so here I go...even if no one read this:)

This upcoming year is gonna be pretty intense and amazing and I just want to provide a place for people to see my journey and progress.

So today I am conquering a cold, worked at Oldnavy until 8:30pm, came home and ate a little something and immediately got to work on finding funding for my Anthem School of Ministry tuition. I have never attempted to raise $5,400 dollars in my entire life. To be honest...it's a bit scary! I am so in love with my Provider and I know He will always take care of me, so these are the thoughts that keep me going.

Hopefully soon I will have a way for people to donate money and sponsor me for Anthem
