Something I’ve really been struggling with lately is fundraising. I’m still $4,718 short. Most of my squad have already finished fundraising, so it’s hard to see everyone around me getting funded while I’m not quite there yet. That isn’t to say that I’m not IMMENSELY thankful for every single cent that has been donated to me!! I never ever thought I would be able to make it this far, and I’m humbled every time I see the amount I’ve raised. Asking people for things has never been something I’m very good at. I never want to be an inconvenience, and I never want to ask someone to go out of their way to do something for me. Asking someone to give me $4,718 is beyond uncomfortable for me, being the people pleaser I am sometimes. Not to mention, I feel like every single thing I post is about fundraising and I feel SO BAD about it. Ugh. Fundraising stinks. Truly. But I see God’s faithfulness in it, even when I’m not where I’m supposed to be monetarily. I see Him in every cent, every prayer, and every text asking how I’m doing. It’s crazy how He uses something so messy to bring something so beautiful. So yeah. I want you to know, as my supporters and readers and family and friends, that fundraising stinks for me. But WOW do I see God show off through it, even when it’s not in my timing. And WOW does He use you to bring joy into my everyday. I’ll never be able to repay any of you, but I will always be thankful for the sacrifices you’ve made for me.
For His glory,
Madison
