something i realized today!

So I've been raising my partnership team this summer to go back and work in campus ministry at East Carolina. It has been an amazing ride and I have learned so much already just through 3 months of raising my team.

I am happy to say I am at 38% of my goal! The past two weeks I have been contacting businesses which has been great and totally stretched me. Well last night as I was making phone calls I had a peace. This is kind of not normal for me because I am usually so nervous making phone calls. I finally knew something in my heart that my head has known for years.... God is in control. I realized I can either be stressed out the rest of the summer or I can let God be in charge. I fell like God has been saying over the past few weeks that if I was faithful in doing my part (making phone calls and meeting with people) that He would finish my team for me! Well it has been great because today I felt the same peace while making phone calls.

God will bring the increase, I just need to wait and be faithful. It's amazing how when you let go of something that you have been holding onto so tightly, how much relief you feel. It takes effort to hold on tight to something you weren't meant to hold in the first place. God wants to bring us into a place where we just relax and let him do all the holding.
