…it’s really not behind the scenes at all. Honestly, I’ve never seen the Lord provide in such consistent, obvious ways in my life! Once I was able to view the amounts donated through my blog, I saw that I had reached my deadline for the 19th the day BEFORE it through a TON of donations on the 18th! Our God knows what we need before we even ask. It’s amazing to think that you could be praying for something that is already lined up for you. 🙂
Well, everyone, I’ve surpassed my financial goal of $7500, and once again, the generosity of my friends has utterly blown my mind. I have been blessed with the sweetest, most supportive friends in the world. I am officially leaving for launch in 5 days, and it’s FINALLY beginning to feel real! (It also feels quite real that my tent and pack won’t arrive until RIGHT before I leave……but that tent and pack were now officially entirely paid for by my friends. How unexpected and sweet is that???)
Testimony: I needed to sell my guitar in order to buy a smaller one that’s easier to take on the race, so I put it up on Craigslist and prayed that the Lord would bless the sale. ONE HOUR later someone called about it, and by that night it was sold. THANK YOU Jesus!
Things that Jesus has entirely provided through both friends and strangers:
$7500
Tent
Pack
ALL MY GEAR
A guitar so I can sing worship music this year
A hammock that I didn’t even need, but hoped for 🙂
An insane amount of encouragement and love from friends and family
The most incredible opportunity of my life thus far.
The next deadline is $12000 on April 1st! I would be so thankful if you would pray with me for the safety and effective ministry of my team, that we would surrender to the Lord’s work in our lives and not hinder Him, and that we would experience a unity that only Christ can bring. Oh, and for finances. 😉
In love,
Laura
