3 Months Out

I am just an ordinary woman who is about to graduate from college, and yet I have been called to do something extraordinary. Today I am 3 months away from boarding a plane and heading to South Africa. Raising $6,000 has been a slow process but I have been encouraged by how many people have been moved to join my support team. My very first donation came from a woman who I had just met. She heard about what I was doing at an UNCG spartan club banquet. I was surprised and almost brought to tears when she told me she would like to donate $100 dollars. It wasn't about the money, although I was overwhelmed by her generosity. God brought us together! It is beautiful to see how He orchestrates everything and how He ultimately will provide everything for what He calls us to do. At 22 years old I cannot even begin to relate to the financial struggles of everyday life. I am thankful that God made us in a way that we experience joy through giving. I realize not everyone who donates will do it because of their relationship with Jesus, but I hope that as they hear testimonies about what Christ does in the lives of people...they will want in on the action and invite Jesus to take control of their lives. It says in Psalms 16:11 "you make known to me the path of my life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." We were created for fullness of joy and we find this in Christ, who is God. This joy never fades and we can never be separated from His love!
