God is faithful

So I am on week 2 of raising support.

It has been really hard but really good. I wanted to share about an amazing experience this week.

I was starting to feel overwhelmed by my new and wonderful job. As I would bring to the the Lord and he would give me a little reminders that he cares and He is with me. But on Tuesday of this week, he gave me "MY" verse for this new season.

I was doing my Beth Moore bible study and we were reading some verses of about us before we were even born. I read the verse Jer 1:5

"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

What a neat verse about God having plans for us before we were even conceived!

But then I kept reading...and this really hit home.

Jeremiah says to God in verse 6,

"Ah Sovereign LORD," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am only a child." But the LORD said to me, Do not say, 'I am only a child.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you, " declares the LORD. Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "Now I have put my words in your mouth..."Jer 1:6-9

This words are my sword, they are my encouragement, my calling. I know that God has called me to help start a program which will reach out to college students who are in unplanned pregnancies. It is scary and somtimes I do feel like just a child, but the LORD will give me the words to say, he will send me the right people and he will fill me with HIS words!

This is so exciting! I am so excited for those of you who have decided to partner with us! You are an answer to prayer and a blessing.

Please continue to pray for funds to be raise.
