Luke 12:22-34 says don’t worry, God will provide, and He surely has!
Eighty-two days ago, on December 14, 2014, I told the world that God was directing me down a new path. Seventy-eight days ago, on December 18th, I mailed out my Support Letter and posted it here, on my blog.
In less than 3 months, I am just over halfway to my goal of $16,277. Y’all, that is incredible!! I am so thankful for a loving God who equips the called and for such an amazing group of family and friends standing with me and supporting me.
Fundraising Update
Wrapping Up: T-Shirts
When all is said and done, I will have made just under $1,500… Such a profitable fundraiser! Praise the Lord!
I will be totally honest, I was really disappointed in the way this fundraiser started- I wasn’t seeing much traffic on the blog post about it, and the orders just weren’t coming in like I had hoped. I was SO excited about this particular fundraiser because my vision for the shirt had completely come to life thanks to Fund the Nations. I decided to take a few steps back, and then sales began to take off… Kind of like “a watched pot never boils.” Go figure! I am so thankful for those who decided to support me by purchasing a t-shirt, and I have LOVED seeing the pictures of people wearing their shirts. Keep the pictures coming and tag me in them so I will be sure to see them!
I currently have one L and two XLs adult shirts left. I also have four children’s shirts left- two Ms and two Ls. If you are interested in purchasing a t-shirt, please let me know!
Right Now: Isagenix
Thanks to one of my incredible friends and her husband, March 1st started another fundraiser! Michael and Samantha Horne made a choice to live a healthier lifestyle (and start a business) with Isagenix. There are different goals people set (and reach) using Isagenix products- more overall energy, weight loss, healthier eating habits, etc. If you are interested in learning more about Isagenix, contact Samantha and Michael by sending them a direct message through their Facebook page, their Isagenix website, or by emailing them at [email protected]. They are so graciously donating 10% of all sales during the month of March to my World Race account!
Coming Soon: Garage Sale & Silent Auction
Some really incredible people are organizing an event on Saturday, April 18th- SAVE THE DATE! It will all take place at Back Creek ARP Church. I will be posting more information about it all soon, but for now…
How you can help: We are still accepting donations of goods and services for the silent auction. Also, as you start your spring cleaning, set aside your unwanted items for the garage sale.
I am so thankful for the donations we have already received for the auction. Some items include: Swedish massages, 2 tickets to the Sea Life Aquarium, a Taylormade Golf Club, Haircut & Color from a seriously great hairstylist and many more! All proceeds from this event will go to my WR account!
I really cannot say THANK YOU enough to all of the people who are supporting me… The love y’all are pouring out is overwhelming!
Prayer Requests
-My family lost a bright light this week. My cousin Kathy passed away after a brave and courageous battle with cancer. Please pray for her family and friends- especially her parents, sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew.
-Another family member was just diagnosed with cancer this past week. There aren’t too many specifics yet as there are still scans and appointments that need to take place. Please pray for all involved- including the doctors.
-Several of my Squadmates need your prayers right now- there have been unexpected expenses, sick family members, and other trials that have been testing Route 5 Racers. Please pray for peace, comfort, and that they do not feel defeated or overwhelmed.
-Last, but definitely not least, I would also like to ask you to pray for the people who are blessing me with their prayers and donations! It has been such an eye opener to see how generous and supportive people can be, and I pray that they will also be blessed.
Joyfully yours,
Mary Catherine
