World Race is a *huge* trust fall for me into the arms of friends & family who are supporting me. There is no other way I could be a part of this great adventure God has called me to. It is totally unnatural for me to ask for help & to ask for it repeatedly. It feels weak, but I know it is true inner strength that allows me to be vulnerable & to trust others to help meet my needs. It feels awkward, but I am realizing it allows me to move more gracefully in God’s design. Ugh. It’s still NOT easy at all. But, here I stand, still choosing to fall into the arms of the support network around me.
Thank you *SO* very, very much for choosing to help support me in a million different ways…I have received gracious gifts of financial provision that have blown me away (every single check counts!), gracious gifts of meals provided where I am spared the expense of my own food, gifts of boxes to pack my belongings, gifts of assistance early on in packing, gifts of time spent with loved ones, the gift of receiving a paycheck months after our company’s funding was cut, gifts of service in helping me repair home & car pro bono, gifts of encouragement, gifts of assistance in gathering supplies for the trip, gifts of graciousness with me when I’ve been stressed out or overwhelmed, gifts of PRAYER support. I have been gifted *SO* very much beyond anything I would have expected and I am overwhelmed with the love & generosity surrounding me!!! It has been a great experience that I never would have chosen had I not felt God’s strong calling to this trip. He is continuing to push & stretch my faith DAILY, and I thank Him for it!
So after hitting the “post” button, I realize I need to add this paragraph to admit that I still need a little help. As you can see on the left, I am still in need of some funding. If you or anyone you know is willing/able to help out, I will gladly accept your gracious gift! It’s *still* not easy…sheesh…
