Walk-A-Thon

So I have had this on my mind for quite some time, and I finally have the motivation to stick with it and persevere as wells the time to do it right. A father of a very good friend of mine has an organization called Angel Wing, it is a rescue home for domestic abuse victims and their children. I have such a heart for this cause and I want to do all that I can to help out in anyway that I can. I am really thinking about organizing a walk-a-thon to benefit Angel Wing and make it big. I know that it is going to be rough and frustrating but I also know that it will all be worth it as long as we raise some money for Angel Wing as well as awareness and resources to "Break the Cycle." I cannot wait to start getting the ball rolling and getting my family and friend involved. I pray that God gives me the strength and the dedication to push through.

Why do I fight it?

Sometimes things in life get thrown at us and we don't think we can handle it. But from past experiences I know that I can. I have this problem where I try to handle everything by myself rather than giving it up to God. And each time I realize that I need to surrender it to God, everything works out according to His plan. Yet the next time a problem comes along I try to do it by myself again! You would think that I would learn my lesson but of course I'm stubborn and I don't. It's really all about faith because it's hard sometimes to not worry and to not think about the end result. Its comforting to know that God is in control and He already knows how everything is going to work out and how everything is going to happen. I just need to remember that He will not give me more than I can handle and He wants to take all my cares and concerns upon Him. He is a great God and I need to start trusting Him more and sooner, rather than taking things into my own hands.
