Trust was always something I struggled with. I always wanted to be in control, to know what was going on, to know how things were going to happen, and when they would happen. When it came to fundraising, I felt pretty confident. Heck, in college, the organization I ran fundraised over $100,000 over three years. Fundraising would be a synch! Wrong. Silly pride.
Fundraising was one of the most trying parts of the race for me. God kept telling me to trust him, to not worry, and the whole time I’d go, ok….and do my best to obey. He kept telling me that He was my provider, and since He called me to this, He would provide all the funds I need. And He came through, like He always does.
I’m so excited to say that I’m fully funded! And it’s all thanks to you who are reading this. It’s thanks to you who prayed for my finances, and when you felt the nudge to support my financially, did so obediently. I can’t thank you enough for not only doing so, but also believing in me. It’s an indescribable feeling to know I have so many people behind me cheering me on and supporting me. But most of all, I want you reading this to know that all glory needs to go to God for this fundraising. One of the first questions people would ask me about the race was, “how are you going to fundraise all that?” And my only answer I would give is God. He truly is our provider, and this fundraising was an opportunity for Him to demonstrate that to not only me, but to my supporters as well.
He told me He had people chosen to give an exact amount that would add up to everything I needed, not a penny more and not a penny less. And that’s exactly what happened. So thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. Prayerfully, financially, and for simply reading this. I’m so excited to continue updating you on all God is doing around the world!
God bless,
Jenna
PS the kids in this picture of from the ministry I’m working with this month in Cambodia! I’m in a village with no electricity or running water, and the kids drew with crayons for the first time! They were so proud of their rainbows that they refused to put them down for the picture, so enjoy the adorable children as well as their creativity 🙂
