Money sucks God.
Fundraising is tough. I don’t think anyone would dispute that fact. It is hard to get people to believe in the things you believe in. It has been hard for me to get my heart out on display enough for people to open up their wallets and want to donate.
I have to raise $3500 to go squad lead in a few weeks and I have $125 so far.
I wouldn’t say I feel discouraged. I believe without a doubt in my mind I am living in God’s will for my life right now and it is truly a place without words.
What I am finding difficult right now is asking for money when there are so many people in the world with needs bigger than mine.
I believe God is bigger than ANY amount of money.
There are poor people it seems like everywhere I turn. There are dozens of ministries that are struggling to stay afloat.
One specific ministry I am referring to is Sarah’s Covenant Home. I spent my fourth month there of my race. It was a LIFE CHANGING month for me. I completely left my heart there. Those kids captivated me with their love and beauty.
These homes take in special needs children who would otherwise die on the streets or in government orphanages neglected and alone.
I think about these children and this ministry at least a half a dozen times a day. I pray for them. I read all the foster mom’s posts about the kid’s struggles and their progress. My mom and I talk about these kids and these people like they are family.
I tell God all the time, “if I were to win the lottery I would give it all away!”
Fundraising is as important to the foster mom’s who love and care for these children as it is to me. They couldn’t go and love and care for these children without donors.
Although I pray the Lord leads me back to those kids someday right now He is asking me to squad lead. He has put a passion in my heart to walk alongside these racers. He has called me to be apart of their stories. I pray their stories are full of freedom, their hearts breaking for the world, courage, and love.
These people I am called to walk alongside are the future. They are the future for the world’s orphans, sex trafficking victims, and prostitutes, lost, and broken.
So what I am getting at is WOULD YOU CONSIDER DONATING TO ME?
