Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. Matthew 5:6
The last 3 months have flown by. I honestly am getting kinda anxious. Anxious to see what this next year looks like. Anxious to see what even the next 4 months looks like until I leave for a year. Anxious to leave my family and friends. Anxious to raise the money I need to not only go on the race but to have a little extra while I am gone. In my anxiety I’ve been feeling I still have an overwhelming peace from Christ.
Well my anxiety about money was getting pretty heavy. I had my garage sale and and it couldn’t have gone better. I made close to $2,000 just in one day. I was overjoyed with the turn out. Even though I had raised $2,000 at my garage sale I still had about $14,600 to raise. That’s a lot of money to trust the Lord with, but there isn’t a better person to trust it with.
Last Wednesday, I was serving in the youth at our church and my pastors wife brought me an envelope. When I opened it I couldn’t even process just how generous my church had been. My church donated $5,000 to my fundraising. This amount of money guarantees that I am able to launch in August when I am supposed to. WOW. I am so blessed by a church who is supporting me in traveling around the world to serve our God. WOW. I am so blessed by the Lord to give me a huge amount of money just when I started to doubt that it was possible to raise that much money.
As I continue this journey I will trust the Lord to supply my needs. I will trust him for the $2000 to pay for my immunizations, I will trust him for the $8,600 I still have left to raise, I will trust him for the amount needed while I am gone. I know he has called me to this and will provide a way for it to all work out perfectly in his timing.
I wish there was a way to show just how thankful I am for a God who supplies my every need and a church who listens for the still small voice in everything they do. I am so blessed by everything Renew Life Church has given and taught me over the past year. They are a huge part in equipping me to venture out into the world to share the gospel.
Gospel: News that’s TOO good to be true, but it’s so true.
