Since I found out I was accepted to E-squad in July I don’t think I’ve stopped planning my next fundraiser and keeping busy. This was a great season in my life of me putting myself out there and asking people to come to events and be there physically. It was hard for me to ask things of people and to receive from people. And I learnt so much through this process.
Since returning home from training camp in late October I’ve found myself in a different season of working less and trusting more. I realized the reason I was putting such a ridiculous amount of time into fundraisers every two weeks was because I didn’t completely trust that God would provide for the trip if I didn’t work my tail off to get there.
Now that I have exhausted every possible avenue I’m at a place on complete dependence on him , which is amazing in so many ways
Through much time of prayer God has continued to tell me to trust him
To trust him that the finances are already figured out
To trust that he will protect me
To trust that he has what’s best in mind
To trust that I’m ready for this …..
I know trust is not something I’m always great at doing.
So here’s to me trusting that he will provide for what he has promised, because he is a good good father, and he gives us our hearts desires.
Sense I started giving him the control and letting go even more (I thought I had already let go of all the control, surprise) he has provided in crazy amazing ways!
In the past two weeks he has provided $2200 in donations from friends and family!
He has brought me to a whole new level of dependence on him
And he’s shown me time and time again all I have to do is ask and trust.
So for me this is what trusting looks like.
It looks like giving up control and realizing fundraising isn’t up to me it’s up to him.
That in itself brings such a peace to my soul and a smile to my face, because I know he can do it way better than I ever could.
Prayer requests
Please pray that this transition into the race would be smooth, that goodbyes wouldn’t be too difficult and that the holiday season would be cherished and not overwhelming
Also pray that God continues to provide on his promises of this adventure, he is such a good father and he knows what my deadline is.
Soon my account will show $6000 !!
I’m still in need of $4000 ! I know we can hit this goal in 17 days!!
