Hello everyone! All you who have subscribed to my blogs and you who stumble upon this blog, I just wanted/needed to post a blog regarding fundraising, as my last financial dealine is coming up in about a month and a half. First, I'd really like to simply thank you. It's been over a year now that I applied for the World Race and began to fundraise and since then, I've spoken to countless people about this trip and my financial need.
The last year has seen the raw goodness of God in sending people to donate and its been such a blessing. Difficult at times, but He saw me through. For the most part, my deadlines were not met until just days before they were supposed to be met. God really tested my faith on those and I found out just good of a God He was 🙂 I knew that God would provide that money, but just seeing that 3500 had actually been raised was so amazing. Meeting my next deadline was even more amazing as I saw 6500 in my account. In Romania, I saw the 11,000 deadline met and once again, I stared at my account in amazement! How was this money being raised???!!! God had sent so many people and opened so many doors to fundraising and it just shocked me. People I had never met before giving me hundreds of dollars. How do I even describe how good it is? Impossible.
I love the goodness of God. I love how faithful He is to provide! I love the people that he's put in my life to encourage me in this area; people that have supported me from the very start; people that have poured so much into this from the very beginning.
The hardest part of this has been actually asking for money. Its absolutely necessary to ask for it, but I hate it. I would love the money to just be in my account; to just be there one day, but I dont think God wants that for me. I believe that so many things can be used as a test of our faith and this most certainly is one of those times. How is it testing my faith if the money just showed up on day one of my fundraising?
So, as I come to my last fundraising obstacle, I would like to ask that you ask God if you should donate. I would like you to please pray about helping me to meet this deadline. I need about $3500 before June 30th or kaput! This trip is over for me. I would love love love to meet this deadline and theres no doubt in my mind that I will, but again, I have to do my part and fundraise.
Thats about all I have so I just want to thank you so much again for your amazing generosity and thank you in advance for whats to come 🙂
