Sometimes God does things that are beyond any of our expectations. Like leaving zero room for doubt kind of things. Things that cause us to stop and say there is no way anyone could ever convince me my God isn't real and powerful after this. This is one of those times!
Lets back up... The Monday before thanksgiving the IChooseYou board let me know that I would in fact be going to Uganda for 6 months in May! I began fundraising a week or two later in hopes that I would be fully funded by March or April. I sent out letters and expected to have to send another set of letters, make visits, as well as do other things to raise the support to go.
God had other plans.
My goal was to raise $12,000 to cover monthly living expenses as well as the actual travel costs.
Wednesday I received news that I am ecstatic to share with you...
I currently have $9,500 in my account!!!
I have been fundraising for only one month! I only need to raise $2500 more! And the crazy part is that I was planning on saving a total of $4000 toward my trip so basically I'm done!!!
Beyond that I have really felt like I need to have money for an emergency plane ticket saved just in case, and now that is looking like its going to happen! I know it will happen actually! God is doing this! In a big, mighty, exceeding all my biggest expectations kind of way! Praise Him!!!!! I know I shouldn't be this shocked and amazed by God doing great things but I am! Join me in praising him for what he has done!!!
Just a little side note- for those of you that still want to give please do! If I have any extra I will set aside an emergency travel fund and then the rest will go toward my next trip. If you have any questions at all please feel free to contact me.
Once again Praise God! I am humbled by this generous gift from my Father. Thank you Lord!
