Whaattt?! How?! I want to sob. I did it. God did it. The impossible literally happened. I’ve successfully raised $17,617!!
When I first heard about the World Race, it was literally an Ephesians 3:20.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that work in us. Eph 3:20
Nothing like this had ever crossed my mind ever, I hadn’t even fathomed it. I thought God was going to perform this huge miracle and make $5000 show up in week. I was going to have to work really hard for it and fight my way through it. It was hard. I was stressed, I cried a ton, and I felt like it was impossible and thought I would have to push my race back again.
This journey of fundraising was all God building me and growing me and teaching me and opening my eyes to the possibilities of what my life could be if I trust Him and let him take the lead. It was truly putting faith into action.
Confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Heb 11:1
It was not knowing how I could raise such a huge number, but trusting that God would make a way and send the right people my way, and trusting myself, keeping at the forefront of my mind that he created me with power, love, and a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7) To open my mouth and let people in on how real he is and how he’s changed my life and now wanting me to do something unheard of in my family. It’s a true testament of His faithfulness and provision.
I am just so thankful for this life changing experience and I couldn’t have done it without the support of my family, friends, and squad mates.
Thank you to everyone who made a contribution to my dinners and yard sales in any way. Thank you to everyone who bought a t-shirt. Thank you to my squad mates that shared with their family and friends. You guys really came through for me. Jeeeeezzz!!! This is the best thing ever!! Thank you soooooo much Mom, Dad, and KK for your support even when I sounded like a crazy lady and for helping me make this a reality. Your support in this has really kept me going. I love you guys and can’t wait to see you. Now I can continue to focus on my race and what God has called me to do. Thank you, Jesus!!!!
