It's something else when you get to watch God work. This summer has been a huge exercise in faith, but wow it's been amazing to watch the outcomes!
So, when I started writing this blog post a few days ago, I was at $2000 dollars, Then by the end of the week I realized that I was actually at $3000. Wow!
God has been working in incredible ways that really confound. He's continued to provide enough work for me throughout this entire process. I've been doing yard work, housework, car work, computer work, etc to raise support and it's been amazing how the support has been pouring in from the people I know. As I've wondered how the next two or three days will play out, God provides more support! When I'm not sure what to do that day, more than once someone calls and needs something done. I'm never quite sure how my week will look, how the next two days will look, but it always manages to work out. God always provides exactly what is needed exactly when I need it!
A question I've gotten a lot is, "What if you don't get all the money? What then?" I think about it for a moment, and realize, if God means for me to go this summer, all the money will be provided. There will definitely be enough, I have nothing to worry about! If he will decides to keep me from going, I'll help support the others on my team and, if nothing else, it will be donated to the relief efforts.
But, I have to maintain faith in God that this is his direction, and keep following his lead. I'm ok if he changed my course right now and told me "Go to Mexico" or some other place instead. This process has taught me so much, and brought me so far in my faith that I wouldn't have traded it for anything! But, I have faith that this is his plan for me this summer, because he everything continues to lead this direction!
But anyways, thank you so much everyone who has provided, and given to my trip. You have blessed me, and helped me spiritually already because God has used you to show his providence in my life. And wow I can't wait! only 23 more days!
