This past week, I have gone through some major growing pains. Most of the week I have had fundraising on the back of my mind. Well, to be honest I have spent most of my time thinking about it, worry about it, and trying to plan out every little detail. I quickly discovered that this is something that I absolutely cannot let myself do. I lel so many of my responisbilities slid because I was busy worrying about how mnay shirts I was going to sell, how I was going to send support letter, and so on.
I have seen GOD move mountains so that HIS will is done, and I know that HE will make a way for this to happen. I always keep thinking back to when HE showed me how great HE really is when I was fundraising for my mission trip to the Dominican Republic, and raised $500 in less than 3 hours while I took a nap. This has been an excersise of faith. I have been in the process of completely turning everything over to HIM. This is one of the scariest things that I have done because I do like to have control over it all. I like to know exactly what is going on with everything that has any kind of effect on my life. This is one of my downfalls as a Christian, a leader, and a person in general.
I have spent this past week completely surrendering my fundrasing to GOD, and completely trusting HIM with the money that will be coming in.
I do still have $17,361 left till I meet my final goal, and $4,850 left to meet my first goal. Please pray about supporting me financially, and in prayer for me and my squad as we prepare for this journey.
