Over The Hump

Well, we made it to 50%!!! After a few months of not really gaining any support, God has really blessed us with some amazing, generous people who have helped push the numbers up quickly. Sometimes when we receive a pledge sheet in the mail or when someone emails us with the amount they'd like to support us I'm in awe. Of course, whether the amount is small or large, we are always incredibly humbled and thankful. It has been a little hard not to get discouraged as things certainly seemed to be stalled for a while. I know without a doubt this is what God wants us to do but it's amazing how easy it is to try to do it in my time frame. I've actually been surprised that most of the time I've been emotionally stable and calm and know that if this is God's plan it WILL happen. But every once in a while I panic a little and my sinful thoughts take over and I wonder how in the world it will ever happen. I feel like we've tapped out all of our contacts and that there is just nowhere else to go. But I'm always amazed how God continues to provide and bring me back to a better focus. We still have a long way to go and I've heard that the second 50% is harder than the first, but God continues to remind us that he is in control. I'm just excited to see His plan for the next 50%!
