Thank you so much to those who supported me through providing equipment for my trip! God has used you to teach me about how it is foolish not to trust Him. One of the coolest things about seeing God’s hand in providing for me through incredible people is that in many ways I feel like my faith is more of my own. God called me to step out in faith in the first big way in my life and He caught me. I now can say that I trust Him to save me in times of trouble not only because He called me to trust him, but also because He has been faithful to save me in the past. It is the coolest feeling in the world, knowing that He will call me and I will go and He will save me. I truly feel Him before me and behind me, and I love it. I want to challenge anyone on the verge of stepping out in faith, whether it is on a missions trip or especially here at home, if you do it He will bless you in ways you could never imagine. He will never let you fall, and I am not just saying that. I now feel it and believe in it with everything I am. I am so excited for my trip I cant even tell you! Thank you again to all that have donated financially and with equipment, I am blown away and humbled that God provided for me in my faith trough the generousness that you have shown. You really have made a difference in my life as I seek to make love God and love others.
