Hey y’all, I know its been a while.
I have been going through a really hard time but am now make it a priority to keep you updated.
Anyway, fundraising and work have put a lot of stress on me. I also have not been surrounded by the kind of people who make the best decision, nor treat me the nicest.
If you asked me how I felt 2 weeks ago, I probably would’ve said “sad,” or “alone,” or the dreaded phrase “I’m fine… Really.” But that all change when I realized the I was no longer focusing on God, I was focusing on myself, and anything that could steer me clear of the stress of the World Race. I started to see how selfish I was acting and noticed that a change needed to be made. Although, I pray every night, that was not enough,… I needed to get into The Word. The day that I noticed this, I started listening to scripture every chance I got, through the Bible app. I started noticing God in the little things that would happen. For example:
1. I prayed that God give me a sign that the fundraising money would be provided in whole. The next day a woman came into work and told me she was really involved in missions. She said that she and her family were more than willing to support me.
2. I have been praying for good Christian friends. Well yesterday an old coworker of mine invited me to go to a small group with her on Tuesday.
A prayer didn’t go unanswered.
I just want y’all to know that even when you feel far away from God, and feel like you’re fighting this battle alone, God is always there. He’s holding out His hand saying’ “Child, run to me, I love you.” And no matter what you’re going through, you’re not too far gone. Thank y’all for the love and support.
I would also like to ask if you would consider partnering prayerfully and/or financially with me in my ministry. Any donation will get me closer to my goal. My deadlines are the following:
- $5,000 – Due 6/15/2017 (Fundraising Goal 1) Currently at 5000.00!!! Praise God!!!
- $10,000 – Due 8/22/2017 (Fundraising Goal 2)
- $14,951 – Due 12/29/2017 (Fundraising Goal 3)
Many people prefer to make a smaller monthly gift. If this is something you would like to do, the option is available on the giving page.
The Lord calls us to test Him in Malachi 3:10-
“‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.’”
Anything that you feel called to give to further the kingdom of God, will be returned in abundance.
