God goals: goals that seem unrealistic to yourself and most yet you make them anyways believing God will come through.
My first set of God goals happened this weekend , and this is how :
so this weekend was crazy , we held two fundraisers back to back a garage sale and a potluck and they both went amazing .
First the the garage sale : I had made a goal of $1000 for the garage sale , I believed it was possible , I didn’t know how. But I believed it. Then I started telling people and most thought I was crazy , so I lowered my goal to a more realistic number of $500 . And that seemed to make people happy . But me and a few close friends were still declaring $1000 to be the goal . After 12 hours of garagesaling we counted up the money and came to a total of ….. Are you ready?……. $1100 !!!!!!
I know I couldn’t believe it either , I cried laughed and cried some more . It was amazing because it was an unrealistic goal but that didn’t matter. It was realistic to God .
Because that goal came through I thought I should have a God goal for every fundraiser , so the day of the potluck came and I was telling my friend about what happened the night before and she asked me what my God goal was the night . I said $500 and didn’t tell anyone else .
So the Sunday my good friend and one of my biggest supporters opened her house up to hold a potluck/fundraiser for me (amazing right ?!) we had a great time great food and great conversations. When the night was over we were curious to see whatthe donation jar had inside we counted $300 and I was so amazed and happy about it. Such a blessing ! But I knew there was more to the story .
this is were the God goal comes in . The next day I had a friend donate at church saying she couldn’t make it to the event but still wanted to support me . and I had received two online donations from people who attended the potluck . All counted up came out to $500!!!! amazing right ?
God has continued to amaze me with his funny ways , this makes me laugh because I realize these goals seem huge to me , but they are nothing to God.
So with those two fundraisers under my belt we raised $1600 , with the $980 currently in my account that leaves us at $2580 !!! Now if only all this money was already in American it would add up even faster ! . my account is at $2500 right now. In order to hit my goal of $3500 I need to raise $1000 in a week !
If 10 people donate $100 I will be able to go to training camp
or if 20 people donate $50 I will be able to go !
We can do this ! I can’t do this without everyone’s help and support. please consider partnering with me in the amazing journey !
Prayer points :
this week has been an eye opening week of things I need to work on and I can’t do alone
please pray that God would continue to give me eyes like his , to see people in the way he sees them and to have a heart that breaks for things that break his
please pray that God would give me the strength to do all the things he asks of me
please pray for my finances , this is my last week of work before I’m laid off and that worries me slightly , I’m trusting God with my finances , doesn’t means I’m still not a little nervous about it . pray that he would supply all my needs with or without a job .
