So, I want to give an update, and I am in fact beyond the $1000 mark. God has really been good to me so far. He's leading me by the hand and forcing me to have faith and let him provide. And so far he has been! So, I have around $5000 left to go. Which, although it may seem daunting, it can and IS being done!
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the might hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."
It's incredible to know that the reason he wants me to come to him and cast my fear of not raising enough, my worry that it's too little time, etc on him is because he cares for me, and at the proper time it will all work out.
"And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened"
I must continue to rely that if I continue asking for God's direction, and his provision that he will provide, and he is. I've already gotten some good ideas to continue raising support by doing yard work, odd jobs, washing cars, etc to raise money. It's tiring, but It's a way I can be a blessing to the people who are donating to me, and a way I'm not being a burden. God has been present already by giving me more work than I had anticipated today when I went to the Carson's house to wash their cars. I ended up washing not just theirs, but the window salesman's car and another church member's car! That was totally unexpected, and really God used that to reassure me that he's working things out.
So, please continue praying, supporting, and spreading the word! I can't do this alone, but with your help, I can! Thank you so much for the moral, monetary, and prayer support. If there's anything I can do for you, please don't be shy to ask!
