Running the Race

Isn't it funny when you hear the same Bible verses or topics from different people all around the same time!?! It makes you stop and think, are You trying to tell me something God?? Well He is! He has been speaking to me about running the race with self control, which takes patience and trust that He has it all planned out for me and will provide every step of the way. 

Now, it is easy to say this, but hard to put those words into action. But it is the Truth - God's Word that tells us in Romans 5:3-6 'And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has given to is. For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.' 

The hard times where we don't know how things are going to play out are the times that God is molding us into the woman or man of God that He created us to be, by working in our hearts. The hearts that He knew before we were even formed in our mother's womb. Even though we may resist His plan for us at times, He is right there waiting for us to go back to Him. And He will meet us, run to us with joy and open arms!! How awesome is that?! 

I serve an Almighty, caring, kind, gentle, loving God. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Prayers for the people of Uganda, the Segner family, our team, our leader Rachel, our fundraising, and provision over the traveling and guidance in the work God has planned for us during our short time in Uganda, all in Jesus' Mighty name, amen!!

May God also bless abundantly all those that have prayed and donated to our trip!!! God sees your heart and will honor your obedience!! THANK YOU SOOOO SOOO MUCH!!! God bless you all who read this! 

With Love In Christ,
