I have had a couple people ask me for an update on our fundraising efforts for Africa. As of right now we do not have an exact final dollar amount. We have a pretty good estimate of what we need and I am happy to report that based on that estimate we are AT THE MOST $300 away from being completely fundraised for the trip. We have a meeting to attend next Sunday evening and I am hoping we can narrow that down to a more exact amount so we know where to go from there.
When David and I began this journey we talked about how awesome it would be to be able to completely raise the money without having to send out support letters. There is nothing wrong with that (we will most likely have to do it when the time comes to raise the money for adoption) but I am very prideful and I like to work for it. We agreed that we would try to raise what we could on our own and if we still needed more we would send out support letters. I never imagined that people would start stepping up and giving us money without us having to ask and for the most part it came from people I would have never expected it from. In one case we even had a sweet lady we had never met before give us money for the trip. We are so grateful that people have answered God's call to support our trip.
The way that God provided for us financially to go on this trip, for me, is the greatest confirmation of all! I am ashamed to say, I doubted Him and lacked faith that it would come in. But in those moments of doubt He came through in big ways. He showed me that all I have to do is say yes and He will provide the rest of the way with what I need to walk in His will.
For now I leave you with this scripture....
"For nothing will be impossible with God." Luke 1:37 (ESV)
