First, I would like to explain why I decided to call this blog Gideon's Faith. The book of Judges tells the story of Gideon, a man who was called from being the least of the least to being the leader of a nation. Along the way he has many struggles of faith but God grows and refines his faith through challenges, dreams, and even a wet fleece. All this was done before he sent Gideon into battle!
I have always identified with Gideon. Not because I think of myself as great, but because I always felt the least worthy and least likely to be called of God for anything. Over the past few years God has ripped me from all comfort zones and placed me in positions I would have never concieved possible for me. Now, here I am, 700 miles from anything and everything I have ever known with little more than faith to live on. It has been an incredible opportunity for me to see God's provision exactly when and where I needed it. It hasn't been easy and I don't expect it to get any easier but I trust God has a plan in it and will provide what I need to get through it as long as I lean on Him.
As I near the beginning of my freshman year at Central Bible College, it's hard not to let anxiety get the best of me. Money is short, jobs are few, and the future looks tough. However, I look forward to what God will do with me when the education I recieve combined with the faith that He is growing in me enables me to be a warrior for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I keep reminding myself "I can do all things through Christ who strenthens me". (Phillippians 4:13)
