So far so good, right? I hope so. I have to be honest, it’s scary putting the direction of my life in the hands of others. I’m hardcore thrilled by the support I’ve received so far, but at the same time, of the 50 people who have made contributions, only two of them are monthly supporters. Mind you, I’m not saying that one-time support is bad; it’s a HUGE blessing. After all, if it weren’t for those contributions, I wouldn’t be even a tenth of where I am now. But at the same time, once it’s been over a month since letters went out, and support slows down, you can’t help but get nervous. I know that I need to have faith that God’s taking care of it, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t praying for a big fat $13,000 donation.
I know I’m not alone in this; my fellow racers have shared similar concerns, especially given the country’s economy is failing faster than an attempt to market onion rings as acceptable substitutes for wedding bands. But the only thing we really can do is have faith. It’s a hard thing to do, especially considering that I am somewhat of a control freak: the entire next year of my life rests in the hands of others. Now THAT’S scary.
I felt the call. God’s got this. All I need is the courage to have faith.
