yeah, so.. God has really been showing me that He is so much bigger than i can ever imagine.
When i started fundraising for this trip i was EXTREMELY nervous. i mean.. most people i talked to about it would look at me and say “You have to raise HOW much money??.. uhh.. good luck”
.. that didn’t really help me.
especially when something i really have an issue with is looking to PEOPLE rather than GOD for my assurance.
in pretty much everything i do. it’s kindof ridiculous.
so while i’m hearing that.. and not getting the emotional support i wanted from certain people in my life.. i just felt a lot of fear and doubt.
but then i notice that God is whispering something else in my ear..He is constantly reminding me that i only need to trust in HIM and He’ll take care of all my needs.
that He loves me. and to stop looking to everyone else for my comfort and reasurrance.
last month i missed the support goal date. and even though i was so grateful for what God had already provided through the people around me.. i was still upset that i missed the goal.
and then a week later i had $4000 in support raised.
WHY am i still doubting?!
and then today the Rigg’s family (Rob, Kelly, Donny, Robby and Rachel) plus my sister, best friend Stephanie, and Cody! all helped out at a Link Sale we had.. and raised about $800.
this brings my support up to about $7000
today i truly realized that God IS providing. and i’m going to STOP worrying about money.
it’s completely pointless to worry anyways, right?
i’m praying that i will continue to learn and know that God is in control.
thank you so much for the support. 🙂
and Praise God for all He’s done and yet to do!
love,
chelsea
