This blog has taken me a week to write and post…
I've been praying over this blog today, this last week, praying over you.
That when you read my words you take it to heart and allow the Spirit to lead you and move you either in prayer support, financial support or both.
Ive never been good at asking for money or receiving money, I always try to get the money on my own. But this is something that is going to not only need me, but I need you also.
I need you.
That's hard for me to say, because I'm independent, I like doing things on my own. I feel like if I ask for help I'm weak, maybe you're the same way.
But it doesn't necessarily have to mean that.
"…Because in my weakness, He is made strong." – 2 Corinthians 12:9
I've been prideful this last week.
I haven't been vulnerable enough.
Vulnerable to you, to the Spirit, to myself.
I wrote a while back admitting that I'm not ready for what the God has in store for me when I get on the field, but i'm willing.
Yes, I still am. But what about now?
I keep thinking about things I need for the field, for then, for the future. When I'm not thinking about now, what I need now. Am I willing to allow people to support me?
I wasn't, but now I am…
I need prayers.
I need funds.
I need you.
I've been thinking that this will come out of no where, money will just show up in my account without me having to ask; that prayers will be prayed without having to ask. But that's not really how it works. It's not fair for either of us for me to assume you know that I need you. I need to constantly remind you how much I need you.
You play such an important roll in this, in my journey.
It's with your support that 'll be able to go.
Don't get me wrong, I know I'll be funded by the time of my last deadline, I know God's bigger than that. I know He'll see me though. As I've said before 15,500 isn't a big deal for him. But to get to that point, I need a kick start. I need to lay down my pride and ask,
are you willing to be apart of my journey?
Willing to support me?
Now, I understand money is a touchy subject for some, but I pray that if the Spirit moves you and leads you that you listen and obey.

God’s protection, spiritual and physical (Psalm 121:1-8)
A spirit of power, love and discipline (1 Timothy 1:7)
Clear proclamation of the Gospel (Colossians 4:3-6)
Spiritual discernment (1 Thessalonians 5:21-22)
I promise you this isn't going to waste, the Lord has SO MUCH in store for this new adventure and so much kingdom business that is to be done in the countries I will be tending to here in just 9 months. And not just that, but so much to teach me now.
Trust me, this is just as hard for me, as it might be for you…
And finally: Thank you to all of those who have supported and encouraged me through this process, you are all such a blessing to me and I can't express how grateful I am for everything that you all have said and done!
"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." ( Luke 6:38)
