As I’m writing this, there are few days before my $5,000 deadline. I came into this journey pretty late, and with such a big amount of money, and so little time, sometimes I feel like it isn’t possible. I forget that the same God that created the heavens and the earth, is leading me through this journey. Sometimes I worry that I won’t make enough money, or I will have to use money that I have saved for when I come back, to fund the trip. Fundraising isn’t easy, and it is the biggest thing standing between me and this mission. I am learning so many things, and having to surrender my pride to my friends, family, and the Lord. And humbly yet boldly ask people for their hard earned money to help me. Growing up we are taught that we need to work hard to provide for ourselves, and that our hard work will get us where we want to be. But I am learning the truth. That you will go no where in this world without the help of others. That you will go no where meaningful if you aren’t following the path the Lord has set for you. I pray so much that this is the path the Lord is leading me on. I sometimes am afraid that I wont get enough support and all my family and friends money will ultimately not support my journey. I am scared to disappoint, I am scared of a lot of things in regards to this adventure. But as Jesus says in Mark 5:36 “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” The apostle Paul also tells us “The lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philipians 4:5-8
I know that if it is God’s will for me to go on this journey it will happen, so I am learning to put my full trust in Him to provide when it is His time.
