I use too many words sometimes. My jokes run long and my stories run longer. What I say in one page of type James can sum up into two sentences. I use too many words. He sometimes uses too few. Together I think we average each other out quite nicely.
However, there are days where I run stuck. Where I feel like my words run short. I felt this way this evening as I was trying to write this blog. I want to update everyone on how our calendar and support raising has been going. I want to whole-heartedly thank everyone who has supported us financially, emotionally, and through prayer.
I have few words myself to express my thoughts, so I will borrow some of the best words I can find.
To our friends and family who have given above and beyond, to those who have given what they could, and to those who may want to give more but have to support mainly through prayer. Remember that God loves your big heart!
(And we do too!)
“Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” – 1 Corinthians 9:7
To myself, to James, and to my Squadmates who are going through this time of trust, patience, and letting go and letting God.
He has provided before. It is proven in His word. Time and time again. He does not change and just as He looked out for our favorite Bible characters so will He be looking out for us!
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” – James 1:17
Our hearts say to go, but we cannot do this work without God blessing us through your gifts. You can be a part of this race with us! Please prayerfully consider sponsoring a day so you can join with us in making a difference in this world.
Whatever dates you sponsor, you will get our personal reflections, thoughts, and stories from those days. When we find ourselves back on U.S. soil we will be sending you copies of our journal entries from the day(s) you sponsored!! We are excited to be able to share with you about what your support has allowed us to do in God’s Kingdom.
1 Day= $48.73 2 Days= $97.46 3 Days= $146.19 4 Days= $194.92
5 Days=$243.65 6 Days=$292.38 1 Week=$341.11 2 Weeks=$682.22
We can have two people support each day as there are two of us going. On our calendar you will see purple and orange triangles, when we have one person sponsor a day there will be a purple triangle on that date and when a second person sponsors there will be an orange triangle! So feel free to choose any date that is open or has just one triangle on it.
