A few weeks ago I started really struggling and questioning
about whether or not I should go on the Race or not. I had spent the past few days before this
hearing and reading stories about how God was doing crazy things in the
fundraising of other people on my squad, and nothing like that was happening to
me. I wasn’t meeting strangers offering
to give me checks for thousands of dollars and I wasn’t even close to being
fully funded like others on my squad. At
this point I had raised about $3,000, a long way from $15,500
I started wondering if this was just something I wanted to
do for an adventure and not something God has called me on. Wednesday night I went to bed praying about
everything and prayed for God to do something crazy that week with my
support. I specifically prayed for
$1,000 to be added to my support account by the end of the week. The next morning I checked my account hoping
for a miracle…but nothing had changed. A
few hours later I checked it again…still nothing. By this point I started really doubting my
future on the Race and thinking I should maybe drop out, even though my heart
was still 100% dead set on leaving in July.
Later on that night I checked my account for a third time and was
completely blown away. Three checks were
posted that day. I quickly added up the
checks and sat there in complete shock and amazement. Exactly $1,000 was added to my account that
day.
God is so good! Just
at the point I really started doubting if I was really supposed to go on the
World Race God gave an incredibly clear answer.
This makes me even more excited now knowing without a doubt that God has
called me on the World Race. I can’t
wait for July and the next months after to build
churches, evangelize, help fight human trafficking, care for the poor and
homeless, teach English, pray, live with Gypsies, comfort and love on orphans,
reach out to prostitutes, and feed the hungry.
