It Is Well With My Soul

I have basically been told that there is very little chance that I will raise the money needed to become an RUF Intern. I have one week to raise thousands of dollars in order to get more time to raise the full amount of $30.000.

In this time of overwhelming sadness, I am living every second clinging to the Cross, wiping my tears on my Savior's robes. I feel as if He has written this on my heart. I feel so called to this internship. I feel so prepared for a lifetime of ministry. And yet, the funds are not coming in to confirm my calling. Is my heart in the right place? What is God teaching me? What plans does He have for my life?

PLEASE, pray that He will give me wisdom in this difficult time. Pray that I will run to Him in my time of need. Please, also consider supporting me financially. YOU may be the avenue through which God will raise this money in no time at all.

He has not moved me to give up. I am giving it all in this next week. If He does not move people to give, then I must accept it and discern where He wants me.

But I truly believe that God is good! I believe that He, in His power and might, is able to raise to raise any amount of money in any amount of time! He can, but will He?



"It Is Well With My Soul" by Horatio Spafford

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

It is well, with my soul,It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
