Sooo in a few weeks I'll be at $ 3,700.
I’m tempted to just throw in $300 to make it an even $4,000. Haha
I can’t believe I’m almost up $4,000 already. The funny thing is, is that I have no idea how.
Thanks to everyone who has donated and supported me. I love you!
When I first got accepted for some reason I really thought the cash was going to flow in fast.
Like God was going to lay it all into my lap after a few weeks.
To be honest I expected fireworks!
I expected 15,500 to be transcended down from heaven rite into my hands (not really lol)…but something like that.
Maybe by some chance some famous person would donate.
Yes, I sent out a letter to Tim Tebow…hey I love Jesus he loves Jesus..Maybe he'd give up some cash lol. Who knows he seemed like a nice guy. haha
Or maybe even get this anonymous donation of 10,000 and only have to raise 5,500 more. That would be awesome!
Why did I think this way?
Because he is capable of that! What is $15,500 to God?
A drop of a penny!
But the more I think about it the more I've realized that what kind of father would he be if he gave us everything we ever wanted and needed at the precise moment we asked…umm I dont know about you but I'de be a spoiled bratt.
He loves us to much to do that.
I forget sometimes that the Lord is much more interested in my spiritual life then in my physical.
God could give me 15,500 right now but he won’t because he loves me. Here is an opportunity for me to learn and grow, an opportunity for his glory to shine for all to see. He's going to take it!
The question is not whether or not he’s going to provide because he will. The question that should be asked is this: Will I enjoy this process of waiting or fight every minute of it?
Will I stop squirming like a worm on a fishing pole and learn to benefit from this ride?
ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY and enjoy some more because the longer the wait, the sweeter the kiss.
In most cases God does make us wait for MANY THINGS and in my case almost everything(lol)
BUT in that process is where we find ourselves, where we find Gods love and mercy, where we find contentment and ease and where we find our growth in character.
Didn’t Ruth have to wait for Boaz?
Didn’t Joseph have to wait for justice?
Didn’t Jacob have to wait 14 years to marry the one he loved?
Waiting on the Lord can be painful and often enough frustrating and completely frightening
But think of a pearl and its beauty..
