God is Stretching My Faith

God is stretching my faith a lot. I've met with a lot of people face to face. Sent out letters. I’m calling people back and being patient. But I'm not a patient person.

I feel like Proverbs 16:9 .. In his heart a man plans his course, but the LORD determines his steps. I know where my heart is. But God is in control. I've set up meetings, shared my heart, asked for support. And its July 10, almost empty-handed, They want me funded by August 3 and heading to Bowie State University. On paper it seems like an impossible deadline. My faith in His timing and His will are growing though, I’m still patient waiting for God provide or point me in a different direction. Like James 4:15, I’m telling myself "if it’s Your Will, You will provide a way, if it’s not, You will open a different door. I don’t like waiting, being patient. God has placed in my heart a desire to see young men grow into strong leaders, who walk in faith and know who Jesus is.

Like Colossians 1:28, I want to help Men find their completeness in my savior. But I turn to Hebrews 11 and I am humbled by the great men of faith who died before they saw the fruits of their labors. Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t see the fruits of his labor. Cesar Chavez didn't see all the fruits of His labor. Yet they were great leaders’ because they had a vision and a purpose and plan that rose above their circumstance. I'm scared because I believe God is preparing me for great things, and I desire to give Him the glory for whatever he has for me. I know his purpose is greater than my plans and I've seen many miracles recently that have made me excited to walk in faith. Yet not knowing how He is going to provide is scary, even though I know that He will. For his glory

Please Pray for me.
