The hard work starts now! Sure, I dont leave for my race until July 2012….but there are alot of steps between now and then…. .including $15,500 plus personal expenses. That mountain is right here….right now….. and its going to be A LOT of work! I cant do it alone! I feel like I say that in all my posts….lol….but it really is true. I need your prayers most of all. This mountain seems daunting …..it feels too high to climb. I need strength, and wisdom and fortitude. I need energy and motivation and ideas. I've been accepted for a month already and I have not raised even $1. Thats kind of scary. I have a million ideas and things I need to do, but I feel like I am just not making enough ground. I've tackled some of the bigger hurtles like starting to blog, and starting to pass out business cards, but its just not enough.
My first fundraiser is a garage sale on Sept 17. Will you partner with me in prayer for this event? I have a lot of stuff of my own to price and organize and transport. I also need donations of items to sell and prayer over the event for lots of buyers! If you live in Springfield so if you want to make a donation, please let me know. I also need long tables to set everything up on.
Thank you to those of you who are partnering with me for this event! Special thanks to Mrs Sherby for letting me use her house and to Raquel, Jocelyn and Bianca for help with planning and donations. You ladies are a God sent and I truly could not do this without you!
Have you faced a mountain that seemed too big….too steep…..too high? Were there times for you when other people were a large part of your climb? I envision a long rope with lots of climbers…..all working together….each supporting the one next to them….each there to help keep the other from falling. Will you climb with me?
