FINANCIAL UPDATE
well, it’s not really and update if you haven’t blogged about it yet… but here’s the FANTASTIC news anyways…
I AM OFFICIALLY FUNDED FOR THE JULY WORLD RACE MISSION!!!
PTL PTL PTL PTL PTL PTL PTL PTL PTL
A few lessons learned from this leg of the endeavor…
–prayer authenticates actions.
-my family (shout out to the Fred’s!!!) has seriously stepped up to the plate during our “sweatshop” hours. LOVE LOVE.
-living Matthew 7:7-11 is not begging mentality… it’s a blessing (both receiving and giving) mentality.
-a 100 pennies has the power to bring me to my knees.
–spray painting fumes are worth the headache when it comes to making t-shirts for Jesus lovers.
-there are people here in America willing to begin changing the world, and they all seemed to find me within these past few months and gave faithfully in both prayer and change. Wow.
-$15,000 in four months did not authenticate my calling to this mission, God’s love and design for His people did…
There were so many times when I would receive a gift of support and find myself utterly speechless. Seriously, there are too many faithful people who believe in God’s word and His work to thank. Paul said it SO WELL in Philippians 1…
3 Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. 4 Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, 5 for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. 6 And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.
9 I pray that your love will overflow more and more, and that you will keep on growing in knowledge and understanding. 10 For I want you to understand what really matters, so that you may live pure and blameless lives until the day of Christ’s return. 11 May you always be filled with the fruit of your salvation-the righteous character produced in your life by Jesus Christ-for this will bring much glory and praise to God.
****There are more Racer’s that are struggling to find the funds to complete their timely goals!!! Every penny is gladly appreciated! Give as the Spirit leads!!!****
All monies beyond my total will go into a collective fund for the World Race pot. This will be distributed to accounts of leaders and WR staff, also among other racers as well.
Please continue praying and supporting us by reading our blogs!!! Literally, most of us check them daily JUST TO SEE IF SOMEONE READ THEM!!! More blogs from me to come shortly!
I love ya’ll (“ya’ll” being all those in cyber-space that accidentally stumbled and/or has taken steps with me these past few months) more than you know. I can’t wait to share more in the future!
PRAISE GOD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS!!!
Your July World Racer,
-Lia
