getting out of His way

As I sit here this morning trying to focus on what I'm reading and what to write, my mind is just flooding with idea after idea. What a week it has been. I'm thinking back on it right now, and it's been a week. One week ago this morning is when I first spoke out loud the idea to give kits to emergency placed foster children. Before last Tuesday it was just a thought in my head. Today,  everything is in line to fill out my state registration as a non profit corporation, and everything between that and filing my 501c3 application with the IRS.  Someone is standing by to create a describer video to use to speak at churches. As soon as the script is ready, he's going to get to work. There is a logo. The bag tags are designed. They're actually in the printer's email already, just waiting to hear back from him.

One week. That's what God can do in one week if you get out of His way and say yes.

And the momentum hasn't stopped! I have already received a few donations! Guys, I'm moving. I don't have a place for donations yet! That's how crazy God is. He likes to keep me on my toes. 🤣

My to do list gets longer every second because the ideas keep coming. It's all I can do to just write everything down and focus on the current day. I'm learning so much and it's all because Jesus chose me to do something great. It's intense. It's overwhelming. I am just trying to be obedient and do what He is asking. It's incredible to watch it unfold. I may start a youtube channel to track the progress. That might be fun. Who would subscribe to that? Let me know.

Onward and upward. Here's the part where I tell you what I read and what I got out of it. Today's scripture was Romans 5:1-11. The part that made me go hmm was verse 3-4:
3 And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; 4 and perseverance, character; and character, hope.

YES. That's like my life verse now ok? That's the NKJV. The NIV says sufferings instead of tribulations. Check it out here to see the strongs definition. I love it. Its pressure. It's stress. Affliction, trouble, anguish, burden.... It's the every day troubles guys. And we can know that our troubles produce perseverance, which becomes character, and that becomes hope.


The cool thing is that when people see this happening in our lives, I think it will give them hope too. 😄 It's so cool to get to be a part of giving others hope. It is such a blessing in itself.

So just know that when you all are telling me how amazing this thing is that I'm doing, or that I'm awesome, please know that all I'm doing is getting out of His way, and I am beside myself with the positive comments and the love. Please keep me in your prayers. I want to stay in His will and follow His path. I want to stay focused on Jesus and not get distracted. I just want to be what He wants me to be.
