Today was the official date of my first financial deadline, which required $3,500 in my support account. I received enough donations to not only meet the financial requirement, but to exceed it in plenty. GOD IS GOOD!
Earlier in the week, only $150 was registering in my support account. Although slightly stressed, I maintained faith that God would provide…but the “I want to be in control and know all’ part of me was still struggling in the background. God was providing for me the whole time… I was just being a dunce, found guilty of being technologically challenged… All that time that I was concerned about meeting the deadline, I had been receiving financial support, but I had been blind to the correct section of my WR fundraising account.
As soon as my mobilizer directed me to the right place and I became aware of the donations that had been coming into my account unbeknownst to me, my first reaction was to sit back in awe of God’s provision and the people He placed in my life. I took a deep breath, sighed, and relaxed.
My second reaction was laughter; I just imagined God sitting up in Heaven, chuckling with affection at His stubborn and worrisome daughter who persists on trying to ‘control’ everything when He alone is in control. He let me squirm a bit, not in order to make me suffer but rather to point me back to Him, my need for utter reliance, faith, and trust in our Lord and Savior. GOD IS FAITHFUL!
THANK YOU so much to all of you who have supported me with words of encouragement, through continuous prayers, and by financial support. I couldn’t do this without the support of your generous and loving hearts!!
