Final week of support raising.

Yesterday, I spoke at my home church, here in York. I was really nervous to give my talk, but God showed up and pulled me through. The response was good and it was great speaking with some of the individuals after the service. A love offering was taken and I received $1500 from that. The church said that they would match the offering, up to $2000, so that will significantly help in my support raising. Praise God for that! And thank you all for your prayers.

Please continue to pray with me this week, as my support raising deadline is approaching. The deadline is this coming Saturday, August 1st. As of today, I am approximately 68% of the way to reaching my support goal for the year. I still need just about $11,000. I know that God has placed me in this position for a reason and that he has a sovereign plan for my life. I will continue to trust him to provide and guide. Sometimes, God asks us to give up the plans that we make for ourselves and trust in his plan for our lives. He will never ask you to give up your faith and hope, though! Keep trusting in him!

One of my favorite songs (at the moment): "Breaking My Fall" - Jeremy Camp

So easily I fall, So easily you reach your hand out
Quickly will I drown, Know the pulls of all my reason
So easily will I feel, So easily will your peace surpass me
Quickly will I trust in anything I think is worthy

How many times you make the waves calm down
So I wont be afraid now?

'Cause I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
'Cause I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I suppose to do?

How precious are your thoughts?
And many of them, You think about me
Faithful are your ways, I always feel your grace abound me
Quickly will I call, quickly will you answer my cry
Carefully will you bring everything I need in my life

How many a times you make the waves calm down
So I wont be afraid now?

'Cause I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
'Cause I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?

This narrow road I'm walking
This world will try to draw
Your Word will help me fight it
With You I'll face it all

'Cause I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
'Cause I saw you breaking my, breaking my fall
What am I supposed to do?
