Hi Friends!
I just wanted to write a quick post to say THANK YOU!
Last week was absolutely incredible in terms of fundraising! The Lord truly AMAZED me with His provision through all of your generosity. And to think that it all started with my blog post about a stranger’s generosity that triggered so many friends to step up and stand alongside me.
Last week I went from needing $1440 dollars to meet my first fundraising deadline on Friday; to not only meeting my goal but exceeding it by $300 in less than 2 days! After sharing my excitement about Merrill’s surprise donation of $500, you all helped me raise more than $1,200 within a matter of HOURS!
I was seriously shaking in both disbelief and excitement as the donations came flowing into my email! Thank you for your generosity and support, I was reminded that although my faith is sometimes small, He is truly able to surprise me and do BIG miracles!
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20
This brought to mind a series we went through at church a few months called Exponential. What we give to God, He multiplies. I truly believe that when I made the choice to trust in Him, it had a ripple effect in generosity. I was also reminded that God has a different economy than we do, and that His ways are higher than ours.
Also, update on the fundraising cookout that my amazing friend and roommate Hannah and her mom Marianne organized for me this weekend: Not only did we meet her $500 goal, God almost tripled it! You all helped me raise $1,471!!! Now that’s what I call EXPONENTIAL!
When you make a choice, it has a ripple effect that goes so much further than what you can see. Thank you for choosing to sow in faith by partnering with me financially, I pray that the return on your investment will be growth beyond your wildest expectations. Your support is adding to the work that God is doing and I fully believe that He will continue to multiply it into something greater.
So again, Thank You for being generous with your time, energy, money, and talents. You are a blessing to me greater than what you can imagine!
I am now currently about 36% funded!! Praise God! It is so exciting that I am officially more than 1/3 of the way to being fully funded but I still have a ways to go. Please continue PRAYING with me and believing that God will continue to provide in EXPONENTIAL and MIRACULOUS WAYS!
Prayer:
