The race is stretching and growing in ways that I never saw coming. I’ve watched as all my plans and expectations go up in smoke, I’ve spent 6 weeks trying to figure out who the heck I even am, and I’ve sat there calmly as immigration officers try to tell me I can’t enter their country.
One of the stretching and growing things I KNEW about pre race was raising funds. That was the biggest mountain I could see before I ever applied for the race. And being on the race, loving the race, and growing on the race while still trying to raise funds has been HARD. Like, crazy hard.
But God.
God has been so faithful and tender through all that the last 3 months has thrown at me. There have been moments when I’ve doubted how I’ve handled a situation, but there has never been a moment when I doubted that God had be exactly where He wanted me.
The deadline for all $18,200 is at the end of this month. When I looked at my fundraising 4 days ago I almost cried. There was no way.
But God.
I’m not fully funded. Much as I wish I could tell you I am, I’m not. Not quite. But God is not done with me yet.
I’ve learned more trust, patience, and peace from fundraising than I have anything else in my entire life. Fundraising is so hard. But I know it is something God has called me to in this season of life.
Again and again He has reminded me that He is in control and that this thing is going to happen in HIS timing, not mine.
Which, for an impatient human like myself has been a lesson all by itself.
Yay lessons!
Now, 2 days ago I updated the world and said that I was still lacking over $2,000. Surprise!
I now lack $1,142 (to be exact)!!
God is so so good!
And ya’ll are incredible!
Thank you for supporting me! Thank you for praying for me! Thank you for loving me!
God has done so much in the last 3 months and I can’t wait to see what He does with the next 8!
