God has provided for me tremendously throughout the beginning of this adventure. Whenever a deadline was approaching or something was needed He poured His grace out onto me and blessed me beyond my imagination. When I learned I needed the first $1,000 to be able to go to training camp (which I learned about only 2 weeks before camp) I freaked! Yet, God came through and at my first fundraiser I raised beyond what I ever thought I would receive…and it was enough to go to camp! “Praise Jesus!” being the first words out of my mouth when I counted the money because I didn’t think it was possible, but with God anything is possible. So not only did God provide for me to have the means to go to camp, but the time came to buy my plane ticket and I hit another dilemma, I had no money for the ticket. Yet again God came through and with the generosity that He placed in a friends heart I had the ticket to go to camp. Over and over again I’ve seen God come through for me on this journey. I have doubted, but He has taken that doubt and crushed it like a little paper ball (because doubt is nothing to God, but an easily crush-able little paper ball)!
So now with the time approaching for me to leave, the weeks becoming days, and soon the days becoming just merely hours, I am filled with awe for my God. A God that provides, a God that is my helper and my comfort, a God that I pray I can glorify while I am away, and for the rest of the days He blesses me with on this ball of rock called Earth.
