Woah! So if anyone (including myself), has doubted God’s Goodness let me re-instill in you how good He truly is! So in April I was officially accepted to The World Race and the out pour of support was amazing! Two weeks later my summer started and I was beginning to get really anxious about money (I had about $300 in my account and, as I said before, I thought money was going to just fall out of the sky) so I went home and tried to find a job. That was not so easy and I was beginning to get discouraged even more so I just laid it down before God with the attitude of ‘Your will be done’, another week later and a woman from my church who knows me and knows my story had found me a job at a local company it was only a seasonal job so it was from May 31st to July 4th in that time I made roughly $2000 to put towards my trip! (YAY! THANK YOU GOD!) A few weeks after that I had a garage sale of 100% donated items and I raised $1200! (I mean if that’s not God I don’t know what is!)
So now I have OVER $5000 in my account and its barely been 3 months!
I know some people are saying “well you still haven’t met any of your deadlines” and I am constantly getting asked “What if you don’t get the money?” and “Really though how likely is it that you will get all your money?”
And I don’t want to lie this season of transition I’ve been going through has been HARD I feel so disconnected from God and I know its because instead of putting Him before me and only Him, I’ve put fundraising before Him (hello STUPID!)
But for some reason just in the time it’s taken me to write this post I feel so much Joy like the Lord has completely taken hold of my heart again! And I know He has something crazy wild and amazing in store for me! And yes I really truly and believe God will provide the money.. but it’s going be on His timeline not mine!
I still have a little more than $7000 to raise (This does not look as daunting now and I am so grateful!) I have crunched some numbers and I just need around $150.00 a day for 50 days! Divided 150.00 by 15 that’s about $10 so for the next week I would ask you to spend some quality time in prayer really listening and talking with God and if you feel led to give, well then Praise the Lamb! If not, then Praise the Lamb anyways because you just spent a week talking to your Dad!
Sorry if this was all over the place! I really just felt the Lord moving so I had to move with Him!
Much Love and even More Jesus!
