My support raising process has just begun and my world is being rocked at how faithful God is. He is so much bigger than I acknowledge most of the time.  Through this support raising process I am seeing how God has been orchestrating this trip for so much longer than I have been planning on going on it.  He has been aligning things in my life to make this possible and in faith I know that he is going to honor my obedience.  I am so excited to see how God is using and going to use individuals in my life to meet my needs.  I know that he is going to radically transform my heart and those around me to be more like him.  
   Last week I was so encouraged about what God is doing in my life.  My Grammy called me about her friend and her husband (who I’ve met before but barely know… my grandmaw keeps them in the loop with my life and they are always praying for me).  That in and of itself is encouraging knowing that people are praying for you that you hardly know.  Prayer is so powerful and being united as a body of believers in Christ is such a powerful tool we can utilize.  My Grammy proceeded to tell me that her friends began feeling that God was pressing on their heart to start putting money aside for a particular person that he intended the money for but they were unsure of who it was for.  They faithfully and obediently began setting money aside every week with their tithes to the church.  A couple of weeks ago they felt urgency that it was time for the money to be utilized, the person that God had intended the money to be for was in need of it.  They began praying that God would show them who this money was for and that they would have discernment as to what God’s will for the money was.  They received my support letter a few days later and after reading the first line knew that the money was intended for me. 
   When I heard this story I was broken to tears of Joy at Gods Faithfulness, at his Love and at his provisions for us.  He is sooo grand.  We never know how God is working or how he has things worked out for his will, but he is sooo Good and i feel so honored that he has chosen me for this mission to spread his unfailing love.
