Seeing as my October 1st deadline for $3500 is in 2 days I figured you're all in need of an update regarding my finances.
I am seeing God's hand is in my life right now. September has been a crazy month and I spent a lot of time in prayer and being torn apart trying to decide if I was still being called to go on the World Race. It was a mental and emotional struggle to say the least. Ultimately I came back to the same feeling as I did when I was first accepted in April. When I dug deep down and spent time with God and in prayer I found I still had the same heart for the lost and the same desire to pursue God in a radical way while glorifying Him all around the world.
On September 11 I made the final decision to continue on this journey and completely committed myself. At that point I had $500 in my support account and I needed another $3000 in a month. I was driving one evening and just got to the point where I gave up on trying to figure all the details out. And that was exactly what He wanted. I cried out to God with depair and frustration and said "That's it God, there's no way I can do this! If this is where you want me to be then my finances are up to You to figure out!" As much as I try to make a conscious and daily decision to give the control to Him I just felt a huge weight and responsibility lifted off my heart at that moment and had a renewed confidence that He would provide.
Its been a little over 2 weeks and I now have $2600 in my support account! Praise God! By Saturday I need to have another $900 in my account before Training Camp and I have faith that He will provide all I need to participate on the Race.
If you are feeling called to contribute to my remaining amount please continue to my donation page.
Your continued PRAYERS and support are very much appreciated! Please pray that the details and finances will come together and that God would prepare my heart for the week of team building and personal growth that will occur at Training Camp in Georgia October 15-23.
