Hey Everyone!
I have been on the fundraising campaign trail for about three weeks now. I am in a constant state of panic when I think about the amount of money I will need in such a short time period. It is a constant battle between fear and faith.
I am so grateful for those of you who have given freely and generously. I have been overwhelmed at times by people’s willingness to give. God has helped me raise about $2000 in three weeks. The deadline for the first $3500 was last Sunday and I was given an extension until training camp which starts next Sunday.
Some days I have been so encouraged and blessed, and other days I feel so discouraged I just want to give up. Asking for help is something I have never been good at. Fear and Pride seem to prohibit me from moving forward so many times. I think to myself, “I can’t do this!!” I have always liked having control over my life and being able to do things myself, without needing others.
But that is just it. I can’t do this…alone. God had put me in a place where I cannot possibly succeed alone. I need help from my family, my friends, and my community. And I need help from my Heavenly Father in so many ways. Since this is an impossible task for me, I know that all good things will come from Him. He is pulling the pride and fear away from me, no matter how hard I cling to it. It is hard, but it is good.
Thank you again for all of you who have decided to come with me on this Journey by supporting me financially and please pray for the $1500 I need before training camp begins. I am so grateful to all of you.
