The Lord Will Provide

Recently someone was asking me about the upcoming programming I was going to offer. When I started sharing some of the programming, they responded that I have more energy that they do. I laughed and said "someone has to do it".

I realized later this probably didn't make much sense to them, but it did to me. I want to share the reasoning behind my response with you all!

First, I don't workout or take classes and do any the things because I have a lot of energy. I workout because I don't have a lot of energy. Working out is a daily discipline for me to make sure I move this good body God gave me. And it's true what they say, I've never regretted a workout after it's done. But it often takes a lot of talking myself into that workout first. I also had a boss that instilled in me the importance of always learning and improving, so I've made that a discipline too.

Secondly, my response was geared more to my upcoming classes, not just workouts in general, and here is what I meant:

It is FAR beyond my comfort zone to lead fitness classes, prayer and scripture teaching. But God has led me to do so, therefore, I'm going to do so! It's that simple. 

God said go. 
I'm going.

While I'm working on material for January for these programs, I find myself exhausted just thinking about it all. And I'm not even doing the work yet. I question God sometimes. I'm not sure he got the right person for this work. He assures me every time that he did. 

I worry no one will sign up. He assures me that is not a me problem to worry about. He asked me to provide, not to bring the people to, so I'm providing. 

I'm praying regularly for the following things, and you can join me in this prayer too:

Energy to do the work

Health to do the work

Prepared hearts of other women who want to join me in the work

His words of life and encouragement to speak to the women who show up to do the work

Thank to our Jehovah Jireh - The Lord who provides, I don't have to worry about any of these things. It's all in His control.
