This tour I have been very tired, but trying to make the best of every moment. The testimony this tour is that every time I felt weak or weary,God sent someone into my life that very moment to encourage me or to show me why I am here. Whether a thought through a text message, or a homeless guy turning his life around because I showed Him the love of God, or even a teenage girl crying in my arms because she needed a friend. God knew I needed to be needed so He constantly sent people into my life to remind me that am needed.

If there is one thing I can walk away from this tour saying that I have more of then before it would be endurance. God has shown me how to run the race, how to cry out,how to become more desperate for Him, how to live in the now. It's been an amazing tour, but one that I've grown weary in. In 1rst Kings 17:10-24,you read of a widow who had very little, until the prophet Elijah came into her home and asked her to give what little she had. Her little became more and more and more, her oil and flour wouldn't run out. God will use whatever we have, even when we think we have nothing to offer. The story goes on to tell about her son who became ill and died. The widow immediately blamed Elijah and said he was the reason. She blamed God and herself thinking He took her son away from her.

How often do we blame God even after seeing how much he has already done for us? God has never left us. In fact He always provides for us, yet we still blame Him and forget all the good He has done and choose to remember the bad.

God allows us to endure trials, and just as He brought life back to the widows son, we will be blessed in return for our perserverance. A painting will never understand why the colors are applied the way they are. A pot doesn't understand why when the imperfections are found it must be broken and formed again, but the potter does. A pearl would be nothing without the suffering of the oyster. But one day, like the pearls, we too will be gathered together and shown to the world .

Thank you all for always supporting me and lifting me up in your prayers. Continue to pray for me as I endure through the changes that I will face in the future.
