Sometimes I forget that I still have a fundraising goal. I forget that I have these deadlines that I must meet in order to go to The Philippines. It’s getting to the point in the journey to get there, that most people ask about what I’m going to do if I don’t get enough money.
“How far away are you?”
“What will you do if you don’t get enough?”
“What’s going to happen if the money isn’t there in time?”
And to be honest, that’s not a question I have an answer to and it’s not a question I need to dwell on.
My God gives peace beyond understanding, and ever since I was accepted to this team, He has given me the peace to know that He is going to provide the exact amount of money I need to go.
As our first deadline gets closer, my flesh wants to scream and get anxious about the distance between what I have and what I need. But every time, this anxiety wants to scream and rage inside me, the Lord is quick to fulfill His promise of everlasting peace. I know Who holds tomorrow. I know Who has directed this entire journey thus far, and I know that He hasn’t left me. The peace I have about fundraising is only from the One who holds the world in His hands.
“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7
I know that I don’t have to dwell on the ‘what ifs’ because I know He’s a Waymaker, Miracle worker, Promise Keeper and a Light in the Darkness.
If you’ve read any of my other blogs, you know I’ve experienced specific events that have squashed my doubts. The Lord has given me so much confirmation that I am supposed to go. My God isn’t going to lead me this far and leave me. My God isn’t going to call me to go, if He wasn’t going to provide the means to make it happen.
I’m praying expectantly and I know He will provide. I don’t know how. I don’t know where it will come from or how it’s all going to work, but I know it will. I’m refusing to put God in a box and limit what He’s capable of.
