My deposit for this trip of $100 was due last week. I did not have the money at the time and was graciously given an extra week to turn it in. There were people I could have asked for the money but I really felt like it was important for me to invest in a trip I just asked my friends and family to invest in. I prayed about it and stood on Philippians 4:19 which we all remember from a prior post-
"...the same God will supply ALL my needs..."
Anyways, I decided last night to just write the check in faith knowing that it was pretty much what was in my bank account and believe Jesus to do what He says He is going to do- provide. I wrote the check this morning- havent even dropped it off at church yet- and already the Lord has blessed me with it back.
This is where my donation update comes in: Today I got my first two donations in the mail! Which is really exciting in and of itself and also because the two checks together equal the amount of my deposit! Isnt God good? I was telling my friend all this and commented that I think its so funny that we are surprised and get so excited when Jesus fulfills His promises like He wasnt going to or something. I should be excited but I should also be expectant; they go hand in hand.
THANK YOU to the two who have already donated and to the rest of you for your responses of excitement and support for my trip! Your prayers and encouragement are amazing and quintessential to the success of our trip. Continue to pray about how God wants to use you for India 2012 and feel free to contact me with any questions you have! I will be posting some videos and articles soon about the current state of India and some issues that are dear to my heart.
Have a great day and remember to thank Him for it! TGIT!
[Countdown to India: 96 days]
