Trying to Find the Funds
As I mentioned in my pervious post, I sold (attempted) Threads of Hope bracelets in Chicago this past Saturday. I was hoping for most of them to be gone by the end of the day, I have wishful thinking, lets just say there was a change of plans instead. By the end of the day I sold a grand total of 2 bracelets amounting to a bank busting total of $4. In the moment I was mad, confused, and overall discouraged by this. I was angry that I wasted my time, I was discouraged that in the end I may not raise all the funds I need, and more importantly I was confused on why this opportunity left me questions wether the race was really for me. My mind began filling with doubt of whether or not the funds would come in. I toyed with the idea of dropping out or postponing the trip. I was stuck in a moment of panic which plagued me with doubt. Looking back, however, I realized that $4 is better than $0. Life isn’t always what I may expect it to be, and thats okay, but in the end $4 was worth it. I know the funds will come in and I have peace that God will provide. So for anyone worrying all i have to say is DONT. I have peace knowing this is my path, and I have peace knowing that the money will show up. So if you are a future racer, a parent (Hi mom), or a random person that has stumbled upon my blog- I want to thank you for the read!
