Yes. that is 6 DAYS away.
If you know me, you know I do not like to ask for things. It is something I pride myself on….that I try to mostly pay bills and various things by myself. I like to do things myself. It makes me feel accomplished, and self-reliant.
I like to know that I did this, or I did that.
I like to think I dont need to depend on anyone. Some may see this as a positive attribute…some may see it as a flaw.
But right now, Jesus is giving me a wake up call.
You arent supposed to try and do everything yourself.
All I know is I need to depend on Jesus.
And You.
Right now, all I know is I must ask you for help.
I am currently $1,300 away from the first deadline.
Since I was little I have wanted to help other people.
It's why I am a Sociology Major.
I LOVE people.
And at first, when I applied for the World Race I thought
"Wow, I am going to get to help people all over the world!"
To see how they live, love and interact.
I wanted to see if we were different or similar.
But what I didnt realize then, I realize now.
This mission trip ISNT about me or what I want to see.
Its about Jesus. and His people.
The people He has called me to go to.
This trip isn't about some self-fulfilling dream.
It's not about seeing cool places.
Or traveling the world.
It is about doing what Jesus calls us to do.
"Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me."
You see? It's about Him.
What HE wants us to do for others.
And what He wants us to do is show His love for them.
For the orphans.
The Widows.
The Prostitutes.
The Homeless.
For People.
Black, white, fat, tall, angry, kind, quiet, loud, homeless, wealthy, confused, excited, rich, poor.
I am no better than anyone on this earth.
We are all people.
People who need love. His love.
I was simply blessed enough to be born into a place and family where I was shown this.
Sometimes I forget. How much I'm loved.
Or I feel alone. So completely alone.
But I am surrounded by His love.
And when I start to feel this way, Jesus is there.
I know He is there, because I know Him.
what about the people who dont?
When I look at how much I have already raised…
2,200 dollars is a lot.
and i am SO INCREDIBLY THANKFUL.
To all who have supported in prayer and finances.
But again, I must ask you to partner in this mission with me.
To spread the Gospel.
To Spread the LOVE.
Although I may be the one physically leaving to go to these places,
YOU are all an incredible part of God's journey as well.
If you are reading this, you are already a part of this amazing journey with me.
So please, if you feel it in your heart to give, don't hesitate.
