Today I speak at a Hmong Fellowship which is a bit nerve racking but I'm asking my Father for His provisions. I talked with one of my good friends in Laos a few weeks ago and she lifted me up. She asked our dad that I might meet with people who were blessed to be a blessing and able to give. I loved her simple words and I'm trying to live by them. I am thankful that I am not overwhelmed by the money but I am still nervous as I am only at 25% of what I need. I'm lifting up what I can do differently.
Tomorrow ends an era in my life. I have worked for 13 months at a Thrift Store. It has been hard and humbling and I am glad to end this season but a little sad to leave behind the customers and coworkers that I've gotten to know.
Tomorrow evening I am also speaking at an all girls group. I hope a lot of them come. Then I'm speaking again at a group I was a part of for years. Please be asking that the Father points me in the right direction. He's always been faithful but sometimes my flesh takes over. May I have the courage to ask for money without fear. May I fear the Lord more than I fear what man thinks of me.
This has been a very full year. I have had my sororities 60th anniversary, Cru's 50th anniversary and now in August I'm heading to Laos. There are a lot of unknowns but He continues to build my trust.
Please be lifting up stamina and that I would be faithful and diligent with my time. I will be nannying 3 days a week leaving me more time to rest and support raise. I have hit some low lows this year but He sought me through. I used to think each year was harder because of choices I made but now I realize it's because of His grace and not what I do but what He has done so I can be more and more like Him.
