its Monday night. June 8th. The first “soft” deadline has already happened, May 22nd. Each racer had a goal to meet $6,000 to keep them on track for the second and third hard deadlines.
I didn’t meet it.
Thoughts crossed my mind:
“Is this God telling me not to go?”
“Did I not work hard enough?”
“Did I not send enough letters?”
“Am I actually not supported by the people I thought I was?”
“I’m making a fool out of myself”
My questions were and still are the enemy creeping in. Fundraising may or may not be the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I never was one to ask for money from people, I never wanted my meals paid for by friends. I just wanted to be the one who was paying for friends and giving money to the ones in need. God is slowly showing to me that He is laying it on the hearts of friends and supporters to partner with me through this journey.
But time is dwindling down
I absolutely NEED $9,000 by July 2nd. I absolutely HAVE to meet that deadline or I will not be going on the race. WHAT. Not going on the race?
I know in my heart I was meant for this, I am constantly in a fight against the enemy for my knowing. I am being taken over by doubts and stress that I am incapable of even seeing that I have almost $4,000 already raised. That is $4,000 dollars that I didn’t have 3 months ago.
But this is my call for help, it is crunch-time. If my account doesn’t get closer to $9,000 by the end of the month, I will not be going.
This blog is in no way ignoring that God will provide, cause oh gosh do I know that Our Father will provide for His children. I just need the support and love from you all to pray and to trust that God will ensure my funds through each and every one of you reading this.
This is my invitation for you to become part of my ministry. For you to partner alongside me in Thailand, South Africa, and Nicaragua. For you to join me as we further God’s Kingdom.
“Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.” -Psalm 9:10
