When God said He provides, he really means it!
I applied for my passport a couple of weeks ago. I was super nervous because I know how long it takes for them to be sent out, and I leave in less than a month! Even the lady at the post office lectured me about procrastinating, but she said she thought I would probably get it before I left. I was thinking, "Lady, I really don't have a choice." I gave her all of my information and she sent it out. Exactly a week later, I had my passport in my hands. I was in complete shock, but also very excited! I think that's when it started to hit me that I was actually leaving the country for the first time. By myself. Without my mom and dad.
I still only had about half the money I needed, so I was anxious about that, too. I just kept praying, "God, if this is really what you want me to do, I know you will provide for me." I was starting to save all the extra change from the HU bookstore or the Huntington McDonalds in hopes that that would get me a few extra dollars. Then all of a sudden I checked my mailbox at school and I had a handful of letters! All of you are awesome! I was still short on some money, but after talking to my parents, we decided we could make it work between prayers, my money, and theirs. So I kept praying about it. Then, I got an additional donation, with the EXACT amount of money I needed to pay off the trip.
So, as of right now...
My plane tickets are booked, and I've paid off the actual trip itself!
I am getting so nervous as the trip gets closer, but I know I need to go out of my comfort zone and make a difference somehow. I know this is exactly what God wants me to do.
I seriously cannot thank you all enough! You are all amazing, and I would NOT have been able to do this without you. I appreciate you all so much, you have truly been a blessing in my life!
2 Corinthians 9:8
"And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others."
