I am so thankful for a God who supplies all my needs! Wow. I love that there is NOTHING to big for HIM. I was literally starting to worry the other day about whether or not I would have enough money to purchase my plane ticket in time, or even have enough money for my trip at all. It honestly felt like it was dead end, and nothing was turning out as I had hoped.
God convicted me in my thought process. I can be really stubborn at times, but He is so good at reminding me that if He has provided for me before, He will provide for me again... Basically He told me to GET OUT OF THE WAY! In saying that, it wasn't easy. I have always grown up working hard wherever I am placed. It is easy for me to start calculating in my brain how much extra I will need to work in order to fund-raise the money for Thailand. Sure, I could take on 2 jobs, work on the side and completely wear myself to the ground. But I kept feeling God's tug, "Candace, I got this!" That's when I said "OK God, but if I don't get the money, its your fault!" I was kinda of laughing when I said that cause at first it sounded harsh, but all of I sudden I felt a steady peace, and that peace was finally allowing God's hand to take control of the situation, and to take my hands off! I know God was pleased with my decision to STOP worrying and ultimately have Faith and know that He is going to do it.
My relationship with Him is growing stronger everyday, although it isn't easy at times, I am so thankful for His faithfulness in my life.

I guess if you are reading this and there is something that comes to mind you need to take your hands off of, DO IT. God already has the answers, he already had the best in store for you, just let Him take the lead.
