I came on the World Race knowing that it would not be possible without God for a number of reasons, one of the main ones being finances. I knew that I could put some of my personal funds in, but realistically I could not afford the whole thing on my own and it was going to take the grace and favor of God for it to work. So after spending time in prayer and Him confirming that this was where He was leading me to, I applied to the Race, knowing that if I was accepted, I would most likely be going.
God’s favor throughout this whole process has been ridiculous. I’ve realized that to date, through friends, family, anonymous supporters, and work God has blessed me with over $12,000!! That’s crazy! Over $12k in 8 months! So as I sit here, with my final deadline over a week ago and still $4,000 away, I can’t help but be thankful for how much God has provided this far in my fundraising journey. It seemed like an impossible task at the beginning and I really did not want to take it on, but God has taught me so much about faith through this and though it has not necessarily been fun, it’s been good. He’s taught me to rely on and trust in Him, and when He speaks, to believe without doubt. Do I do this every time? Absolutely not. I still get a little anxious when I think about raising this last bit I still have to go. But when I think about how much He has provided already, I can’t help but be encouraged and be thankful, because why would He ever stop short of His promises?
If you have a desire to help me reach my final deadline by making a donation, feel free to do so here.
Thanks!!
