I love to smile and laugh. It literally is what i’m doing, probably 90% of the time i spend awake.. I wake up in the morning each day and thank God that he is going to allow me another day and even more thankful that he woke up the people that I love SO much. That is me, that is who i am.. but lately.. i have found that..
I am OVERWHELMED.
and that, my friends, is putting it lightly..
I woke up this morning and realized several things…
1. I have roughly 50 days to raise a thousand dollars.
2. I have roughly 140 days until I’m to leave on the BIGGEST adventure of my life.
3. I have roughly 140 days to give as many hugs as I can out to the people that I love.
4. I have roughly 140 days to raise another 5000 dollars.
5. I’m not good at fundraising and i’m even worse at asking anyone for help.
6. The only gear I have so far is my backpack.
7. I am SO unprepared in EVERY way.
I am terrified…
BUT, one thing I know is THIS is GOD’s will for me. I know it without a doubt.. so I know that he will provide.
The song, “Whom Shall i Fear” by Chris Tomlin hit hard today.
He says, “Nothing formed against me shall stand, you hold the whole world in your hands, i’m holding onto your promises.. you are faithful.. I know who goes before me, I know who stands behind.. the God of angel armies is always by my side.. the one who reigns forever, he is a friend of mine.. “. <3
I want to reach out and thank all of the people again that have donated so far. It means EVERYTHING to me!!
I want to thank the people that have been praying for me. God knows i need it!
I want to thank all of my family and friends that have been picking me up on my “overwhelmed” days!! God knows I LOVE each and every one of you SO much. Thank you for all of your kind words!!
If you feel God tugging at your heart to help me, I will forever be so genuinely thankful. I have to raise 995 more dollars in 50 days to meet my first goal 🙂
Have an AMAZINGLY blessed week everyone! Love you all. <3
