This month has been very different from the past year. My new full time responsibility is to pour into my ministry partners and to raise support for another year of serving as staff for Epic. In addition the school year has been all wrapped up so my engagement with students has looked very different as well. To top it all of, this month I’ve spent a good amount of time stuck inside with Covid.
This season has come with its own set of struggles and lessons. Similarly to my struggle last year around this time, I have been wrestling with insecurity as I seek to invite people around me into my group of supporters. Despite the ways I’ve seen God move this entire past year, I still find myself pridefully fighting for control and doubting God’s ability to work. In the midst of being so so blessed and loved by God through the people around me, I continue to fall into the lie that I have to earn his grace and blessings. I still convince myself that somehow I can earn his love despite continuing to be shown that I fall short of that. Internally, my pride has been what I am seeking to grow in and to overcome. I ask that you would pray for me, that I would be humbled and that my perspective would become wider.
A more financial update regarding my support raising, I am currently around 40% done! I’m so thankful as my goal this year has increased by 28% due to the fact that I will be serving full time for the entirety of the year. I wasn’t expecting to have made this much progress however I’m so grateful. I ask that you all would continue to pray for me and this process, that God would continue to move mountains.
So far this summer, I haven’t had much opportunity to participate with students the few epic events of the summer so far but I hope to be more present as I conclude my support raising process. As of now I have simply been checking in with students individually and doing my best to continue to walk along them.
