I love when things reach completion. I love seeing the fruits of my labor come to life and everything pans out just the way it should. I guess that’s why I love working behind the scenes so much, everyone just sees the final product but they have no idea the hours of tireless work and effort goes into it, they just appreciate what’s in front of them.
I feel like the same can be true of this journey so far. While I have definitely not reached the “end” of this whole thing, I am scratching the surface and I am reminded once again that He holds it all, that He will complete the circle. From fundraising to launch and all the way back home, I have no control.
As a self-proclaimed “control freak” (and, okay, others have proclaimed this about me as well…) nothing scares me more than letting go. (Cue “Let It Go” sing songing in your head.)
But what if…? How come…? But there could be…!
I was talking with a friend a few weeks ago about my struggles and victories in this journey, and I was hashing it all out I found myself saying, “God’s got me this far, he’s not stopping any time soon.” I let the words hang there, realizing what I said held so much weight and truth.
He’s not letting go any time soon.
Even when I’m crying on my bed in total surrender, even when I feel like nothing’s happening, even when I feel like nothing is coming to pass, even when I feel like this is all just a big hopeless mess, He is not letting go.
Every dollar that comes in, every donation that makes its way to my account, every talk I have with people who ask about my journey, every person who asks how I’m doing and how they can support, He is not letting go.
He is working behind the scenes, seeing things that I can not even imagine, and He is making it bigger, better and greater. All I can do is sit back and appreciate what He has done and will do.
Wow! Only $1200 away from my first financial goal on Sept 26th!

Much love to all of you!
