God is good all the time and all the time God is good!
Sweetest, dearest, most sincere friends... I thank you from the bottom of my heart for jumping in with me and supporting me with all that you have. I continue to tell you about the overwhelming feeling I am surrounded with when I think of the ways in which many of you have reached out and truly helped me on this journey!
Fundraising Update with 2 days remaining
My online Razoo account has reached a high of 80% and I am so thankful and very blessed by those many gifts! With my garage sale this past weekend, I have been able to reach the $5000 mark and be able to focus on the funds for my personal bills while I am away.
Many people do not realize that I have to maintain the personal bills while I am in the wilderness, just like I would if I was not! What personal bills you may ask... Well I limited myself to the lowest amount that I could... Cutting off on some things and dropping monthly rates/plans to the lowest that those could go. With that said, I only have my phone bill (lowest plan), car insurance, and storage unit to pay on a monthly basis.
This has been something I have been in a lot of prayer over because as you will know, I am not working, so I will be unable to pay those bills until I return in May and pay them. My dad has committed to up front pay those bills for me, so that I am not cut off, locked out, or given a bad credit. With that said.. I would still owe him which is very understandable. I am blessed by his willingness to help out in that way... but I also know the Lord listens and I am able to cry out to Him about his stressful situation.
Now with that said, I joyfully share with you a sweet friend's request to support me monthly. She shared with me that the Lord has shown her I have a monthly need and she has committed to providing some of these monthly finances while I am on my journey. PRAISE the LORD for the sweetest caring hearts. I was so blown away by this request and answered prayer that I couldn't help but to show up at her work and hug her sweet neck. She will never know how much of a blessing this is to me... Actually none of you will. BUT you can know that I am very thankful and blessed by you!
Oh so I am rambling... That should probably be understood already!
In two days I leave for 9 months... my blog is one way that I am choosing to stay connected to those who have gone out of their way to reach out to help support me. This is also one way that those of you who are walking with me in prayer can personally know what I am going through and how you can be in prayer!
How will this work exactly.. Well I plan on writing blog entries every few days or time that the Lord reveals to me that I need to share. Now with the limited Internet access (2 times a month), this means that I will only be able to post them on those few accounts. SO for instance, if I am given access in two weeks... I will be posting several different blog entries from those past two weeks... so while it may seem strange - Thank you for understanding and still desiring to read my blog!
WARNING: For those who know me well... I will be pouring out my heart, my hurts, my fears, my anger, my joys, my passions, and my list can go on. Please understand that this is part of this journey in my life. 9 months of seclusion spent with the Lord, striving to better understand His will for my life. I know He has a lot in store for me and I plan on being transparent with those of you reading.
Ahhhhh TWO DAYS!!!
