The morning I was suppose to leave for Atlanta. I found out that I was still $435 short of the first goal.
I had no idea what I was going to do about the lack of funds. I had $0 in my bank account and my resources seamed to have run out. I was lost about what to do. Many times that day I considered deferring to a later start date, which would give me more time to meet the goal. But every time I was about to do it something inside of me stopped me.
Deferring to a later date would have been the easy out of the tough situation. It also left no room for God to come in and save the day.
The morning this all took place. My mom sat me down and asked if this was really what I was called to? I honestly did not know what to say right away. After a few moments, I told her that I needed to go. I did not realize how much this mission meant to me before that day. To back down would have been easy yes, but living a life fully trusting God is not easy in the least, but its totally worth it.
That day I decided that I was going to Atlanta funded or not. I was going to trust that God would guide my steps and provide for me. Thats exactly what happened. 10 min before I left home I received a phone call from a local non-profit saying that they had a $435 check for me to pick up on the way to the airport.
The moments following that call were the most exciting moments in my life. The Lord had provided the funds I needed: and I was now on my way to see just what the path the Lord was leading me down would look like. The past 11 day have been nothing but pure amazement.
I’m so overcome by the joy that I have found in the Lord. He has shown me that the World Race and the ISquad are where I’m suppose to be. I have 0 doubts about where the Lord is leading me. I’ve jumped 2 feet into the journey the Lord is calling me to.
I’m so excited to live a life sold out for Christ
Guys, I have been chosen by my Heavenly Father to take the message of His Love to the least of these. He hand picked ME! (this is CRAZY).
Blessings,
Elizabeth
