One week ago $2,035 was in my World Race account. I had a conversation with my advisor about what I was doing in my fundraising, how I was going to go about the next week because the deadline of September 25 was quickly approaching of $5,000 to be in my account. In order for me to go to training camp that goal had to be met. Now trust me I knew I was going, I just feared a little bit on how I was getting there. My friend on my squad came up to TC and encouraged me to pray specifically and realistically for my goal to be met. So I prayed, “Lord on October 2nd I believe my goal will be met and in my account.” Late into the evening on Wednesday the 19th I shared a fundraiser called adopt a box and the next morning I had about $2,000 raised! In roughly about 6 hours WHAT. (like are you kidding???) My advisor e-mailed me saying that I had raised $4,166 total so I was exactly $934 from my goal. And let me tell you how great our God is. Last night the day AFTER my deadline, one of my dear friends donated $1,050 into my account. Putting me OVER my deadline at $5,216 and BEFORE the day I prayed for. WOW.
Ephesians 3:20 is a promise from God that he wants every one of his children to experience. He’s never going to let me down. It’s not in his nature and it’s not who he is. Period. The preparation for the Race is stripping me of the box that I have put him in. It’s stripping away the control I want to have over my life and saying to God, “I can’t do this without your strength and guidance.”
Ephesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask, think, or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us”
Thank you to every single person and family who has continued to support me through prayer, encouragement, and financially. I seriously wouldn’t be able to do this if it weren’t for this village surrounding me. Thank you will never be enough.
Thank you for reading,
