Today was my first day back as a receptionist at a school in Gilbert. Most of the staff had found out the day before about the mission trip but I never got a chance to talk to them in person. Today several staff members came up to me asking how they could help. As you know teachers do not make a lot of money but they were all willing to donate money to help me get to my goal. One teacher was upset with herself because she had just donated a lot of clothes that she would have given to me to sell. She still wanted to find someway to help. I knew getting to $15,000 was not going to be easy. At the same time I never imagined so many people willing to donate.
I could feel God helping me along in the process so I could go on the trip. Not only from the schools staff but through friends and fellow members of my church. Anybody can accomplish anything in life as long as they stick to it. Never have I felt God’s presence as strong as I have this week through the people who said they are willing to help.
They all know my story about how much I wanted to be a police officer. They all agreed on one thing, that this was something I am meant to do. It was so reassuring knowing I had so many people by my side supporting me.
