I woke up this morning with so many questions buzzing around my head, well I take that back it was just one. Where the heck is $1,500 going to come from in just 12 days! Then I was going to write a blog basically asking for money and I had all these ideas I was going to put forward when it comes to donations. Im just feeling so overwhelmed with it and then I was reminded of Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. I feel like I have done a lot when it comes to this race on my own understanding. I’ve actually come to loathe my calculate app on my phone because ive tried to tally up how I am going to reach $3,500 by October 2nd.

I just feel like I need to apologize to you for leaning on my own understanding for maybe asking things of you when it comes to support raising that werent from God. I am sorry, in these last twelve days before my deadline I am chasing after God when it comes to funds because I know I can not do it in my own strength. I need his plan and not mine (I feel like this blog is for myself as much as it is for anyone else) When all is said and done though, I know what God has called me to and he does not complete a work he began. This is his 11 month mission trip to some of the darkest and hardest places on the planet not my own.

I want to thank any one that has supported me in any way if that was financially or through prayer. Or just a simple “its going to happen Nathan” you have blessed me beyond measure. I hope this blog post finds you well, and that God is moving incredible in your life. Believe me he wants to, he wants to turn everything you know upside down! Im reminded of a song by Jesus Culture as I write this blog post today. One Thing Remains!

Higher than the mountains that I face
Stronger than the power of the grave
Constant through the trial and the change
One thing remains
One thing remains

Your love never fails it never gives up it never runs out on me
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/jesus-culture-one-thing-remains-lyrics.html ]
On and one and on and on it goes
It overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never ever have to be afraid
One thing remains

In death and in life I'm confident and covered by the power of your great love
My debt is paid there's nothing that can separate my heart from your great love
