Ok, so it was only $5, but it's $5 less I have to raise! God is good 🙂
I'm already feeling the up and down emotional rollarcoaster that comes with fundraising. It sucks.
Ever since I got accepted (which was on Tuesday, three days ago) I've been working on my support letter and handing out a lot of copies. A LOT. People's reactions aren't exactly the greatest when you hand them a support letter. The look on their face pretty much says it all. "She's just looking for money."
It's really discouraging to get that same look and tone of voice over and over again. But I know God's got me on this trip for a reason.
He'll provide a way.
Lesson #1 Learned: "You have to realize that those people aren't at the same place as you. God will work on them in His time. It will come from places you would have never expected, and won't come from others that you were sure would support you."
