Still so tired
I've been meaning to write since last week but couldn't pick one single topic to write on. There was too much happening and too many thoughts swarming around in my head. I've actually been mostly working on the sidebar to this webpage, as you can see is constantly being edited and updated :P
Anyways, last week was a struggle to pray. I set aside Monday and Tuesday to pray and only really got to pray on Tuesday morning. But praise God for that prayer time. It was essential and helped ground my focus in Him. I've been running around, doing everyday tasks, pouring out myself, but not really "putting back in." I was able to pray over all my supporters, pray over the whole support process, pray for friends I knew in trouble, and for potential supporters to give to my ministry as well.
God answered my prayers LITERALLY within the hour after I prayed. I'm not at liberty quite yet to disclose the details of how this happened, but in short, a HUGE one-time gift came in from someone that was the absolute LAST person to expect it from!!! Praise the Lord!!! I asked myself, "Is this really an answer to my prayers, God???" It was almost too much of a coincidence to be true. But not a single thing happens outside the knowledge of God, so He must have had something to do with it!
Please continue to pray for me as this week I am shooting for a lot of appointments with people, which means A LOT of phone calls, some that will be tough, and a lot of needed energy and strength to work hard for the Lord. My best bud reminded me though, that if the Lord is indeed going to do it, then it will be Him, not me. I need not trust in my own strength or work to raise the funds, but in the Holy Spirit of God to do big things. Again, I ask for you to pray in faith with me and for me!
