well i can definitely say that God intervenes and brings in inspiration exactly when you need it.  today is fathers day and after my dad got home from running errands i gave him the card i got him and we ended up having a long conversation about the world race.  i never knew how excited he was for me to go on this adventure with God but he is one of my biggest supporters.  he had so many words of wisdom to offer it almost brought tears to my eyes but more than that i saw how much he trusts the Lord and how he knows the Lord will provide for me and everyone that is going on this trip. 
 
my dad told me that he will do whatever it takes for me to go on this trip and he encouraged me that i would make my goal of $14,300.00 by talking to father bob (the priest of our church) and by speaking to the whole congregation of 1500 plus people.  he explained to me that people will give to this cause because it is such a great one and not only that but people will give to this cause because God will lay it on their heart to support this ministry.  my father confidence in the Lord and trust in Him is amazing and this fathers day i am so encouraged by my fathers unwavering strength and love and his belief that God will provide because it is God that has lead me to the race.
 
my father knows what it is to be a man of God and fully rely and trust in Him…and he has showed me that my whole life…today all doubt went out the window for me and full trust has set in.  my eyes are fully on you Lord.
