Today as my usual routine goes I logged onto my computer and began checking my various accounts; Aol, Gmail, UNF, Facebook and then the final and lately most dreaded World Race account.
I say most dreaded because raising support for this trip has been like the start of a good idea. You have this idea of how everything should be going and then as things get underway you realize “wow! this is not going how I thought, at all” and all you want to do is cut and run. If you have ever had an idea go south on you like that then you can understand the fear that lingers in the back of my mind.
I am entering my second month of support raising and thus far I have learned that I am not, nor will I ever be this bold person that just openly tells everyone about my trip.
I am not a witty event planner that has spirit nights, silent auctions, garage sales etc. already planned
And I am absolutely without a doubt terrible at asking people for help, much less for money
But in the midst of learning my weaknesses, God has reminded me of my strength.
to preach and share my testimony countless times so that His name may be glorified
I said "YES" to the call
to preach and share my testimony countless times so that His name may be glorified
to pray for healing over the sick
to witness God bringing women and children out of the sex industry
to witness God bringing women and children out of the sex industry
As I checked my World Race fundraising account I saw something different today, I saw you there anonymous. And if I were a crying person tears of joy would have been streaming down my face because little did you know, God used you to lift my spirits and reaffirm that He has everything under control.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, EVERYONE who has been supportive through prayer, or financial donations.
