James 1:17
I want to say a huge "THANK YOU!" to everyone who has supported me thus far in my World Race journey. It has taken me a long time to write this post because every time I sit down to type, I am at a loss for words on how to even begin to describe my gratitude. God has been so faithful throughout this entire journey and His people (aka YALL!) have been SO incredibly generous. I am in awe of the sacrifices people are making in order to send me on this mission trip. Yall's commitment to the Lord and trust in His provision inspires me daily and has been so encouraging to my own faith.
It's very easy to become frustrated or discouraged when I look at how much money I have to raise, but when I look at how much money people have already donated I'm reminded that this IS in the Lord's hands and, "God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, IS faithful" (1 Corinthians 1:9). Praise the Lord!
Right now I have $9,788.97 sitting in my fundraising account, which means that I have $5,711.03 left to raise. I'm so excited to continue to put my trust in God, knowing that He will provide and my trip will be completely funded. If you wish to make a donation, you can do so by clicking on the "Support Me" tab on the left side of the page and then follow directions from there. Any support, whether financial or through prayers, would be greatly appreciated!!!
PS- To everyone who has donated, but has not received a "thank you" letter– I had a stack of them to send out, but have somehow misplaced them 🙁 I've been looking for them and have started rewriting some of them, but I don't remember who all was in that stack so I'm not sure who all I need to write one for. Basically, I just wanted you to know that I am SOOOOO very thankful and I feel horrible for not having expressed that to you in writing yet. I have seen all of yalls donations and have been blown away by them! I cannot thank yall enough!!
**To the anonymous giver– WOW! I wish I knew who you were so I could repay you somehow. After seeing your donation I was in tears because I was so happy and thankful, but yet I kept thinking, "Really!? Why me?? I'm not worthy of this incredible gift!" It instantly reminded me of the gift of salvation and how we are so unworthy, but God is SO good and He freely gives us what we don't deserve. Thank you Lord for grace and thank you anonymous donor for giving such an incredible gift!
ONLY 10 MORE DAYS UNTIL TRAINING CAMP!!!
