Uncertainty has never been my strong suit. I like to know when everything is going to happen and the relevance of every struggle in my life. I like control, I like outcomes that have high probabilities because otherwise I might just be wasting my time. My faith was at its peak when I felt called to go, there was little hesitation when applying and the days following my acceptance. During that time I had control, I had a plan which was something I hadn’t had in a long time. I’ll admit my plan seemed to have holes, I knew I was going on this trip but how on earth was I ever going to get fully funded? The stress of senior year, work and somehow trying to manage time to be a teenager didn’t really seem that big when I have the daunting task of fundraising. It wasn’t until 12:56 on March 17th that everything began to make sense. After I posted my first blog, I hoped that maybe 75 people took the time to click the link and read the blog but I was never prepared for God’s plan. It left me jaw dropped and completely astounded when I saw that 670 read my blog. The idea of gaining support soon became less daunting as I realized I was never doing it alone and God’s plan is much greater than mine.
Therefore, out of pure faith and acknowledgment that God will provide, I pose a challenge placed on my heart. If I have 400 people donate 35 dollars I will be completely funded! Finding 400 people is no easy task and my hesitation has lead me to put this off for a couple days now but I have full faith that if God brought 670 to my first blog post, he can provide the necessary funds I need. This is my call for help and support as I take this leap of faith; are you willing to answer the call and support?
