Fundraising update!!!!
At the very beginning of my fundraising journey, I told the Lord, that if He wanted me to do this, He was paying for it. On top of that I also had a big ask for Him, and specified my ask to also being fully funded before I left so I would not have it as a distraction while on the race.
Let me tell you HE IS FAITHFUL!!!
My God is so good and came through right on time- as of tomorrow I am fully funded (Including a previous racer who generously loaned me so much gear I needed) and a great start on personal funds.
An absolutely generous family is choosing to finish funding the rest of what I have left, several Christian groups allowing me to speak and tell my testimony, and God completely showing up in a little things! He is so good ❤️
Blessings along the way:
So many people have came through and demonstrated the strength The body of Christ has, and God’s kind and generous character. Over the past couple of months people have taken time to sit down and get coffee with me, bring me a massive doughnut and so many people have came through and demonstrated the strength The body of Christ has, and God‘s kind and generous character. Over the past couple of months people have taken time to sit down and get coffee with me, brought me a massive doughnut and several different gifts on my last day of work, and just met me where I’m at.
My final thoughts ❤️
To be quite frank, the past several months have been extremely difficult, faith testing , and completely exhausting. There have been a lot of spaces where I have not known how I was going to take care of the next thing, but He has always shown up and been my guide through it all. He has brought me so much joy though and allowed me spaces to be a kid again and enjoy life in ways I haven’t in years.
The hardest part about leaving for so long is leaving my younger brother, he (aside from God) Means everything to me and it is heartbreaking to leave him. God understands though, He even put people in my life to be mouthpieces of reassurance that I’m not abandoning him, but walking in Gods will- what an attribute to His character that he doesn’t leave such spaces unattended to. The verse that comes to mind is Psalm 56:8, which says He catches my tears in His bottle, He understands and recognizes the sacrifice of what following Him can cost and I didn’t even fully realize that until writing this.
With five days left before heading to Dallas and starting a new season all I have to say is thank you all for the support and kindness everyone has shown and I’m excited to finally embark on this adventure! -Peace out ✌️
