Support Update--Lessons Learned

Yes, it did in fact happen.

God did it!

I am fully funded and a officially a Crusade staff member at UCI.

God absolutely, positively BLEW my mind in the process.

I wish I could say exactly how and when all my support came in.

But it happened so unbelievably fast, I'm not actually certain when it did.

What I can tell you is that I have never in my life experienced God in this way.

I am still in awe of the things He did.

The miracles He gave.

But mostly, I am in awe of the fact that He poured out

 so many blessings when in reality I deserved none of it.

I spent my entire summer in fear, stressing and worrying.

Completely doubting the Lord's faithfulness.

Doubting He would provide for me.

It makes me sick to my stomach really.

And yet, in His perfect timing, He provided ALL that I needed.

Lesson Learned: 

The Lord provides.

God will provide for me exactly when and where I need it.

Nothing more, nothing less.

His provisions are perfect.

The support raising experience I will never forget.

It is one that I will probably have to revert back to when I start doubting.

It will most likely one day be a story for the kids!

Lesson Learned:

The power of prayer.

I honestly should have spent more time in prayer in the earlier weeks of the summer.

It was only when I reached desperation, that prayer became the thing to do.
But even though I fell short, like I so often do;

I can honestly say that God answered every single one of my prayers.

Every specific detail, He nailed it.

God does hears us and He answers.

Lesson Learned:

Yep, I still hate talking on the phone.

I honestly thought support raising would break me of my irrational phone phobia.

Nope, not at all.

I still hate making phone calls, more than ever in fact.

Lesson Learned:

How awesome my supporters are.

I don't want to brag or anything,

But I have the greatest team of supporters, hands down, no questions asked.

A team of family, dear friends, old friends, new friends, my friends friends.

People I knew a long time ago, people I know now and people I have never met before.

People who are close by and people who are literally across the world!

 I am so thankful to each and every one of you.

Thank you for taking a big huge step of faith.

Thank you for joining me in this ministry to bring the Gospel to the lost.

Thank you for being bold and trusting God.

Without you I wouldn't be where I am.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

My heart is continuing to overflow with joy and love for each and every one of you.

I am praying, and will continue to pray, that the Lord will bless you
and your giving beyond anything you could ever imagine!

I am so excited to have you alongside me in this ministry.
