I’m going to be vulnerable and transparent
for a second here. Maybe it’s not
the best way to approach this, but it’s all I’ve got right now.
When I moved to Georgia, I stepped out in
faith, trusting God would bring the funds necessary to keep me here for this
season. While on the Race, we
constantly stepped out in expectancy, living lives and making decisions that
would leave most sensible and logical people questioning. The thing with faith is, it’s often not
sensible or logical. God’s
bigger than that. It was easy for
me to see that on the Race. It was
easy for me to trust Him because, a lot of times, I had no other choice.
But I’m no longer on the Race…
Since moving to Georgia, I’ve been faced with
a somewhat harsh reality. The
support I thought I would have has simply not been coming in. The people I thought would understand
have simply not been stirred to give.
I find it ironic that one of my main
responsibilities here at AIM is coaching a group of 20somethings through their
own process of support raising when I’m struggling with it myself. I know what it’s like to try to share
your heart in a way that stirs others.
I’ve been there. I’m still
there.
Since moving to Georgia, I’ve witnessed first
hand the magnitude of the Lord’s provision. I’ve seen dozens at crunch time, thousands of dollars away
from their goal, when out of nowhere their accounts are paid off. I’ve heard story after story of
unexpected checks, anonymous donors, and money simply appearing in people’s
accounts.
And maybe I’m not bold enough. Maybe I’m not trusting the Lord as I
should. But I can’t help but be
discouraged right now.
I simply want you to understand. I want you to understand the depths of
the Lord’s love for you. I want
you to understand the things He wants to do through you. I want you to understand the grace and
redemption I’ve experienced, but even more so, I want you to have it.
I believe the level of understanding I long
for each and every one of you to experience is one everybody deserves and one
everyone can have, so I am committed to walking alongside others in reaching
it, even if takes every penny I have.
If there’s any stirring in your spirit
to join me in the work that I’m doing, I simply ask that you would prayerfully
consider supporting me financially.
I whole-heartedly believe the Lord has called me to this place for this
season, but I need your help to keep going. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate
to contact me. I would be more
than happy to discuss this further with you.
