"Lord, there is no way I can do this without you. I can't, and I won't. If you aren't in 100% of this, I don't want any part of it. I won't go if you're not going with me."
I'm not quite sure what I expected to happen after I wagged my finger at God with such a challenge of taking two years of high school AND raising 11,000+ dollars..but I can tell you first hand that I have seen our Daddy provide in abundance so much just in the past month. Did I really know what I was doing? No. Did I speak in such a smooth and polished way as to convince people to give financially and pray? (Hahaha) Not at all. Was it flawless organization in preparation and boldness in asking? Wrong again! It is all by the provision and grace of Jesus, who knows exactly what we need, that I am able to say that I am fully funded for my trip next year! Praise God for the way He provides!
Not only does this put me in great spirits now, but even more importantly, it reminds me that this ministry is going to be by Him and to Him. On my own, I will never have the right words to convince someone that they need Jesus, but through Him, I will always have all that I need!
I am still so overwhelmed, He has provided above and beyond the financial need, and so early seeing as my first deadline isn't until July!
I laugh when people say miracles don't still happen today!
Thank you so much for all of you who have supported me in this ministry, you all have been so wonderful and completely Heaven sent. If you would like to continue to support this ministry, you can help me by remembering to pray:
1) My other team members' finances. If you would still like to give towards this ministry, I can direct you to one of them. Complete financial provision for all of them would be amazing!
2) Finishing up my online classes in order to graduate early
3) Preparations for this tip; the people we will meet, our hearts, our minds, preparing our families' for our leaving next year, etc.
4) Pray for unity to continue to grow within our team. They are all so awesome and so in love with the Lord, I can tell crazy things will happen across the world with them! The Lord is already showing himself so evidently through them.
Please let me know how I can be praying for you!
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
Some of you have asked why it is that I am doing what I am doing, this gives a better description than I probably can.
