Happy Days
Yesterday I was able to spend the day seeing a clothes closet, food pantry, and other outreach a local church here in Texas puts on every Thursday. I also got to have lunch with 3 precious ladies and spend the afternoon with "Aunt Shelly" and Lizzie... Two people that have become so precious to me! All in all it was a great day and I got to top it off by spending the remained of the day with my family back in Austin... They so bless my heart!!! I love all the Lord is doing. It's incredible to experience his presence and power on a daily basis. He is so good!!!
The End... It Is Just the Beginning
Hey guys, so this blog is gonna be a bittersweet post! The past few days have been a challenging but good few days and I'm here to tell you that I serve an amazing, mighty God!
I'm sad but happy at the same time to tell you guys that my running part of this journey has come to an end. I was hospitalized Thursday and Friday of this week and due to heart issues I cannot physically continue on this run... I know this is all part of Gods plan so I rejoice in knowing that He has some incredible plans ahead!
At the beginning of this journey, God spoke to me - "GO". So I went, I came and I'm here. He didn't give me any instruction except to "GO." I didn't know how this would all play out- I only knew that I was to come and that God had incredible plans for this journey- and incredible it has been!! I've seen and experienced God on a whole new level during my time on this journey...I'm here to tell you that HE FAILS US NOT!!!
Sometimes we don't understand why things happen but Praise the Lord that He sees and holds the whole puzzle!! As I sit here with this one puzzle piece not knowing why this is happening, I can rest in the fact that my God is holding me in the palm of his hand and He has far greater plans that I could ever imagine!... And that there is purpose in this and testimony will flow from this all- His will be done! He will be glorified!!!! I know that He is for me!!!
As much as I want to be out there running; I know that my purpose on this journey has been fulfilled. And for whatever the Lord has next, I will continue to Walk By Faith and Not By Sight- FLAMING ON!!! Pressing forward in whatever HE has for me!!!
The Lord Gives And The Lord Takes Away; Blessed Be The Name Of The Lord! Job 1:21
Pressing on and looking forward to all that is ahead!!!
I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have supported,encouraged,prayed,loved, provided,etc... For me on this journey! May the Lord bless your socks off! You guys have so blessed my heart! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I love you all!!!
