$20,000 is a lot of money. There are a number of things I can think about doing with that amount of money that would align with more of what society would do. I’m sure you read that amount and thought I was completely insane! I couldn’t agree more. I am the craziest one in my family, but I take pride in that. My mom calls me a dream chaser and supports every one of them. My dreams however, have never been to ask for money, an enormous amount of money, to fulfill them. I live in America, land of the independent and home of the you want it, you work for it. But sometimes, most times, when you choose to walk along side with God, He plants dreams in you and then puts you on a wonderful rollercoaster ride that helps you get to them. In this case, it’s asking you to willingly sit in a seat, strap yourself in, throw your hands up and trust that this is going to be one amazing ride.
This is a breakdown of where my money is going to go.

I hate rollercoasters. I hate heights and not being on the ground. I don’t like putting my hope and trust in something that has proven to be unsafe. I don’t like making people feel inconvenienced or uncomfortable. But, God is calling me to conquer my fears everyday. I’m going to get on this rollercoaster, strap on my seatbelt, throw my hands in the air and scream like there’s no tomorrow. I’m also going to be making a round of phone calls to answer any questions and share more of my heart with you. If we live in visiting distance, I would love to set up a time face to face to share with you. Expect tears, laughter and joy. Expect to be slightly inconvenienced because I may call at the wrong time. Expect that whatever you are able to give will be appreciated and known.
You are a world changer and a rollercoaster rider! Your life is so adventurous!
