A few years ago when one of my good friends got engaged, she called me and my friend to tell us, and she said, “I’ve known for months that this was coming but I’m still so excited! Why can’t I can’t stop crying?!?”
I said, “Because you knew WHAT was coming, you just didn’t know HOW it was coming or WHEN!”
Right now, I feel the same way she did.
I’ve known from the very beginning that God was going to fully fund me. But I didn’t know when, and I definitely had no idea how.
So when I got the news today that the rest of what I needed, down to the exact dollar, had just been sent, it didn’t matter that I knew it was coming. It’s still the biggest and best surprise since the time I got a guinea pig for Christmas.
Thank you. I don’t know how to say it enough.
Thank you anyone who prayed every single day for God to meet my needs.
Thank you everyone who bought my t-shirts.
Thank you sweet people who brought stuff to my house the night before my somewhat impromptu yard sale.
Thank you for believing that God called me to the field and investing your hard earned money in his mission.
Thank you for giving a dollar just one time.
Thank you for giving a thousand dollars twice.
Thank you everyone who gave any amount in between any number of times.
Thank you for sharing my blog and for not unfriending me when I posted over and over on Facebook asking you to share it.
Thank you for encouraging me when I had no idea if I’d be launching with my squad
Thank you all you humble anonymous donors who I feel like I can never properly thank.
Thank you parents and other relatives of my squadmates who helped me even when your own kid still wasn’t fully funded.
Every single one of you is a part of my Race and I hope you know I mean that. GOD picked YOU and I’m here because you said yes. That’s the coolest thing ever.
Please continue to follow my blog! I’m so excited to share God’s work with you for the next five months.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!~2 Corinthians 9:15
