"For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does." Psalm 33:4

"God is faithful, who has called you into fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord."                       1 Corinthians 1:9

"But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one."                             2 Thessalonians 3:3

 God has done so much in my life over the last few months. I have struggled, but He has pulled me out of the pit that held me in bondage and has shown me His amazing grace. He has shown me His faithfulness in so many ways.

He has been so faithful to provide the funds for me to go on this mission trip. I have now raised $14,643. Thank you so so much to everyone who has helped me achieve this, I could have never done it without you! To God be the glory!

Another way God has been faithful is in my walk and relationship with Him. Ever since committing to go on the Race, the devil has been attacking hard core. I had been struggling in ways Ive never struggled before. My walk was feeling stagnant and I was frustrated because I couldn't seem to light the fire I had for the Lord before signing up for the missions trip. 

God rocked my world a few weeks ago. I had the opportunity to go to a women's conference at my church, and I was given a prophetic word. I don't remember the exact words but in my best words it was, "You have been stagnant in your walk with the Lord which has made you joyless and frustrated, run with the Lord and get back your fire." Woah... God is good, and He cares for every single person. After the conference I have had a fire ignited and been equipped with the tools to continue fighting off the enemy. 

God is so faithful. It is now less than 5 months till I leave and begin this epic journey with the Lord. Thank you so much for all the prayers!  

Great is Thy faithfulness... Great is Thy faithfulness... Morning by morning new mercies I see... All I have needed Thy hand hath provided... Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me
