It's going on the second day now, of hearing the overwhelming news. Two days that I have tried to sit down and share with you the news I received sunday morning after sitting down at church.
WE HAVE RAISED ALL OF THE FUNDS FOR LONDON.
Every single time I attempt to express my gratitude (both to the Lord AND all of my supporters) words fail me. It happens all too often. Nevertheless, my appreciation needs to be said; so, I will try my best to do so and hopefully what I have to say is genuine and sincere, because I really mean every word.
In all honesty, when I was told that (need I remind you) we had to raise a total of $34,000 in a matter of months, I was not fully confident that we were going to achieve that goal. However, God proved to me otherwise. Isn't it funny? That I doubted and didn't trust the God of the universe? I would vouch to say ridiculous, stupid, etc. that I had an ounce of skepticism regarding God's provision and power. I cringe and regret the thought of my past action to the Lord. After approaching the Throne with confession of such sin, I have learned one thing: God doesn't allow any situation in life to slip through His fingers without producing good, and He did so with my lack of trust.
I've been told thousands of times - and even read in the Bible - that God is able to provide like no other, but until one actually experiences it, is it that much more real and God seems even bigger, even mightier. From my skepticism, I have learned that the Almighty God, not only has the power to provide, but will make a way for His people if it is in His perfect plan. It goes to show that the team and I flying to London in June is in His will for me, which makes it all the more exciting.
Of course, those of you that have given financially and prayerfully hold a place within my heart that is overflowing with gratitude. In the end though, God placed in on your heart and mind to give, meaning the Lord gets all of the glory and credit and honor and praise. Thank YOU for listening to the Spirit's prompting.
I am already learning things through this trip, and I'm not even there yet! I cannot wait to see what else is in store. So, I leave you with three things:
1) $34,000 is less than a penny in God's eyes,
2) My doubt led to a greater trust in my Father,
3) Remember, words fail when I come with thanksgiving.
