Barriers to entry… We all have heard of them. Your test score was too low, you need a little more experience, we just filled the last position. This week has just been one of those weeks. For each item I knock off my list another one seems to appear. 10 vaccines? Check. Now onto the 300+ Malaria pills I need to buy… One thing has especially been weighing on my mind. One of the oldest worries in the world. Money. It’s been a bit hard to look at my World Race account and see the amount I still need to raise. This morning I was especially worried and praying to God to give me support and guidance. Then I logged into my account and noticed something. My fourth donation came in, and suddenly I was at 14% funded.
It’s amazing how that 14% makes a world of difference when before you were at 8%. But even as I thought that I realized how much I was worried about the wrong barriers. God called me to do this, and He has amazing people in my life who are willing to help support the work He has called me to do. My focus was on the percentage, and not the work He is doing both in my life and in the lives of those around me. Abandonment of ourselves to His will means that we no longer need to worry about those percentages, but instead praise Him for the generosity of His people and those who give. So I have to say thank you so so much to those who have given me those 14 %. It means a world of difference, and I pray God blesses you every day.
