I have reached my first fundraising deadline!
I almost can’t believe I’m saying that, but a generous God and generous people have made it happen! Thank you so much! And, a generous God reminded me this is not going to happen by my power.
I chose to commit to WR through great dependence on the Lord, and expected to become even more dependent, and then the first thing I did was doubt in the fundraising process because I had committed so late. My roommate, when I told her that I met the first deadline, said, “That’s great! You thought there was literally no way.” She has a great memory, and she’s right. I’m pretty sure that at the beginning of my fundraising I said “I won’t meet the first deadline, there’s literally no way.” (And I really meant literally). I spoke with my mobilizer to make sure it would be okay for me to miss the first one, and I set new deadlines for myself. I believed the funds would come, but only on a timeline I thought was feasible. I didn’t even think to pray about the first deadline being specifically met. I trusted zero. And now, here we are, 1 day before the deadline, and the goal is reached.
Reminder: World Race was never going to, and still will not, happen because of my power or ability. Thank you Lord, for reminding me to trust.
“For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” 1 Cor 1:25
