Wait upon the Lord...

So, I had a completely different post I was going to write.  A post listing different fundraising opportunities we were going to explore or share.  However, I felt the need to close it down and walk away.  The Lord has something else in mind. 

The verse from Isaiah 40:31 came to me instead,

"But those who trust in the Lord

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary. 

They will walk and not faint" (NLT).

Another translation (NASB) says, "Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength."

The words "wait" and "trust" stand out to me the most.  We cannot move or conquer every obstacle that tries to throw us off course.  We only need to wait, trust, and be still and know that the Creator, provider, King of Kings, God Almighty, Holy One CAN move the mountains that stand in our way, and we believe HE WILL.  

My dear family and friends, instead of seeking your participation with fundraising we ask that you join us in prayer.
