As I embark on a thrilling adventure to spread love and empowerment to women worldwide, I’m reminded of the timeless wisdom in Jeremiah 17:7-8. Like a tree firmly rooted by the riverbank, I’m learning to anchor my hope and confidence in the Lord, even amidst life’s unpredictable twists and turns.
Fundraising for this global mission has been a wild ride, filled with moments of exhilaration and despair. One day, a long-lost friend commits to supporting my cause, and the next, someone I’ve invested in decides to opt out. It’s a constant ebb and flow of emotions, but in the midst of it all, I’m discovering the depths of God’s love and provision.
I’ve witnessed miraculous answers to prayer, only to be met with silence. I’ve wrestled with disappointment, yet been awestruck by His wonders. Through it all, I’m coming to realize that God is my everything – my source of strength, joy, and peace. My roots are growing deeper, finding sustenance in the river of life.
I’m praying for fortitude, tenaciousness, and strength to persevere, trusting that God is chiseling me into a masterpiece, preparing me for the journey ahead. I’m learning to place my complete trust in Him, just as Paul wrote in Romans 5:5, “And hope does not disappoint us…” (NLT).
My heart’s desire is to be like that tree, firmly planted by the river of life, producing fruit regardless of the season. I long to be a testament to God’s power, so that when others look at my life, they’re drawn to His greatness, not mine.
