Raising 12 Months

A year, 365 days, 52 weeks, and a whole lot of chances and changes. A year, this is my commitment for this next expedition to eastern Europe. With it comes a lot of emotions many of which are excitement, motivation, and just plain happy about the whole thing. Of course though there is a portion of this entire endeavor that drags, and drags, and drags.

Let me just clarify that support-raising is kind of great in the way that you are humbled and grateful. One has to totally lean on faith in God to help bring this along. The people that you can meet while going through this are good, solid people, and I love people! But (got to love it when someone uses the word but after saying positive things) sometimes it's just a lot of waiting and seeing, writing thank you cards (which I do sincerely mean), wondering and pondering. There comes those times when it's all kind of out of my hands and up to leaderships and individuals to think and pray on the Spirit's leading, and I can appreciate that.

Undoubtedly, support-raising can be a trying time. It's almost like school sometimes, you get a few really good grades and then you get a bad grade and start to get nervous about if you will pass or fail. I haven't gotten any terrible feedback or anything, I have been incredibly blessed. It's those moments when it all seems to come to a stand-still where I can get a little nervous about meeting the financial goal on time. However, it is a good lesson on patience and faith.

God is certainly keeping me on my toes this time around, but I have faith in him. I have faith that he will lead me to the right people to be in support of me just as I have faith that he will lead me to the right people to share the Gospel with.

I can't end this post without giving you the chance to be involved! So click on those brightly lit colored words if you think it is a possibility to get involved in this ministry. This page will show you how!

But enough of the plug. I am truly grateful for those giving sacrificially and praying, it is a privilege to have you working alongside me. There isn't enough air to breathe all the thank yous I want to say. If you read my posts regularly I have done you an injustice by not thanking you every once in a while, after all, you put up with my nonsense at times! So thank you for supporting and reading and loving!

All to God
