I’m fully funded!!!
The reason I told you that I’m fully funded at the top of my blog is because I want you to experience the same feeling I had when I checked my support account!
God has taken me on a journey through my support raising. It has been a roller coaster of emotions, from me believing that He wasn’t going to provide back to believing he would. I am so excited to get to tell you just how He did.
At the beginning of this month, our squad got a very encouraging email from our support coach. In the email she told us everyone who needed more support, so that the squad could pray for one another. She also gave us ideas and told us to contact her once a week to let her know what was going on and how she could help. When I received this email my mind started moving. I started to think about all the things that I could do to get the money (but I couldn’t think of anything). It became about me doing things on my own again. I started to pray and pray and pray some more. As I knelt before the Lord, I heard Him say “don’t ask anyone for the money, don’t do anything other than pray”.
Oh my goodness! The thought of this scared me so much. A part of me didn’t believe that money was going to come in. But despite the way I felt I did what He said and I didn’t tell anyone. All I did was pray.
Now when the halfway point of this month came, and I still hadn’t told anyone, I was panicking. My heart wanted so much to believe, but my earthy mind couldn’t grasp the fact that I would be fully funded without making it aware that I needed the money. I prayed and asked God what to do.
God said “Okay, write a blog, but don’t ask anyone for the money”.
I titled that blog ‘Journey. Part 4’.
In that blog, I did exactly what God spoke to me, I expressed my heart, I told everyone my thoughts, but I didn’t ask anyone for the money.
Once that blog was posted money started to come in.
On the 19th God provided $220
On the 20th God provided $100
On the 21st God provided $230
On the 22nd God provided $40
On the 23rd God provided $260
On the 24th…
When I checked my email, I had an email from my church telling me that they had been talking and praying and had decided that if by the 30th I wasn’t fully funded that they wanted to pay the remaining balance owed. When I read this I fell to my knees and started to thank God. I get to go to Africa! I was so excited, but I felt like I needed to check my support account. When I did I saw that..
God Provided $3,145!
When I saw that not only I was fully funded but I was over funded I was absolutely blown away by God’s faithfulness. I was at a loss for words! All I could do was thank Him. God always provides.
Words cannot express the excitement I have, not only that i’m fully funded, but that I know I serve a God that is bigger than any and everything I understand. A God that is constantly expanding on what I think I know. A God that Is faithful.
Thank You Father.
