Training camp is less than 18 days away, my airfare is generously taken care of, I met my first financial goal deadline, and I’m 26% funded. I want to stop and praise God for His provisions! It’s amazing to see the love and support that He raises up in the hearts of my friends and family to provide just what I need to go and serve Him in this way. I have to thank each and every one of you for your continued prayers and support! I sincerely am speechless at times.
With that said, I’m going to be posting here every Wednesday with a post called, “Wish List Wednesday”. There are certain items that my total fundraising doesn’t cover that I need for my trip. I know that some people can’t give monthly or just would honestly rather show their support by providing something physically that I might need for the race instead of a dollar donation.
So since training camp is coming up in 18 days, this week’s Wish List Wednesday is for gear that I still need for camp. Some of the gear is expensive, no doubt. It’s funny – if they can take a tent and design it in such a way that it will fit in your iPhone case, they can add an extra $300 to the price tag. Go figure. But I digress.
If you would like to help me obtain any of these items in the next week or so it would most definitely be a blessing. Even if you can’t help me purchase some things I need but know of someone that might have these items used that I could borrow, that would also be a help. Maybe you and couple friends want to split the price of the more expensive items like the tent or something else, that is amazingly helpful.
Whatever God may lay on your heart to do is a help. I can’t do this alone. I know that. It’s a hard pill to swallow and it’s just now starting to pass by my tongue in this process (Sorry – that was a super weird addition to the analogy).
God has proven faithful in providing more than what I need to accomplish what He’s called me to do. I have no doubts that He will continue to do so.
Again, thank you so much. Even the fact that you’re reading this blog is evidence of your support for me and what God has called me to do. You’re prayers and support mean more to me than you’ll know. I hope that some of you can partner with me in obtaining some of this gear – I’d love to post pictures along the way of some of my gear and give shout outs to the people that made it possible!
Ok – without further adieu, this is this week’s wish list:
