I am currently in the process of fundraising, and trying to meet many goals that I have set in place for myself. In the last few weeks I have found myself going from having full faith that God will provide, to fear and worry that he wouldn’t. When I originally found out that the World Race would be around 16,000 it didn’t seem like much to me. But, as I got further in the fundraising process I started to realize how much 16,000 really was. When that realization set in, then came worry and fear. In my mind I could hear the voice of the enemy saying what if God doesn’t provide, and then what will you do? On the other side I could hear God saying to trust in him, and that no amount was to much for Him. So day by day I made up my mind to trust in Him. But, what really put things further in to perspective for me was a bible study that the World Race had us read. It talked about how the fundraising process is the plan of God and that it is designed to draw us closer to Him. My mind shifted when I read that and I am now filled with gratitude about the love of God. It’s amazing to me how God uses everything to draw us closer to Him, and to allow us to fall more in love with Him.
Remember, And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28), EVEN FUNDRAISING.
