Immeasurably More...

I am writing from my living room and I will be starting my marathon in 11 hours. I'm excited about it and at the same time its hard to believe I am going to run 26.2 miles.......should be interesting. I have had my eyes open to human trafficking the past 6 months and have gone from being very depressed about how bad it is to joyful about what God is doing in Atlanta and the world. The one thing I have been clinging to is Ephesians 3:20.........it might possibly be my favorite verse in the whole bible. I love to think about how my prayers and imagination is nothing compared to God's infinite wisdom! I could spend days dreaming about what I want in this life and what I think would bring fame to the name of Jesus. I could have my perfect plan and yet God is a God of immeasurably more than that. Looking at my life in the rearview mirror I can see how soverign God is over everthing and how His plan and His timing in perfect. I rarely trust with that excitement looking forward in my life. I have made a habbit now to end my prayers with asking God to do "immeasurably more than I can ask or imagine". It reminds me I serve a very large God that has a perfect plan to bring fame to the name of Jesus. So my encouragement to you is to dream big and then know that God can blow your expectations away!!

Opportunities

Ever since I have started getting involved in the human trafficking cause, I have been suprised by all that is going on to end it. I truly think that God is getting ready to do some big things here in Atlanta and all over this world in the next year. I wanted to make mention of two things that I know about that might be something you are interested in.

The first involves a concert at Eddies Attic called "rock for Justice" put on by some folks that are extremley passioniate about ending human trafficking in Atlanta. The proceeds from ticket purchases will go to women at wellspring living, a great ministry!! Should be a lot of fun, I'm hoping to go myself. Check it out below:

The other event is being put on by a new church in the area called "Passion City Church"-it is Loui Gigglio's new church in Atlanta. They are having a Sunday evening service centered around raising money for the trafficking industry specifically here in Atlanta and in India. They are calling it "love atlanta/love the world" and it will be held at Greater Atlanta Christian School Sunday night March 22nd. Check out the website below:

The marathon is now only 11 days away and I am really looking forward to running. If you want to give financially or pray for the cause check out some of my earlier blogs-no pressure. Holla!!

Laced up, trained up, and prayed up

So the big race is only 16 days away for me and I'm ready to run 26.2 miles.........I think?!? I just had my last big run last weekend which was 2o miles, the farthest I have run in my life. I'm looking forward to getting out there an pushing the limits to see what my legs can handle. I want to thank everyone for the support in my quest to run this marathon and bring some awareness to the sex trafficking problem in Atlanta. A lot of you donated money that will go directly to women coming out of the industry and that is much appreciated and will be used well.

The last thing I am asking people to consider is probably the first place I should have started with. There is a website where you can sign up to pray specifically for the trafficking problem. If you follow the link below it will take you to a website where people are signing up to pray for one hour blocks at a time. The idea is to get people from all around the world to pray for the problem continuously. No pressure to do it but I think it's a pretty cool idea to think about people from all over asking God to bring justice to this industry.
