I think this part right here might the hardest. It's the part of the journey in which if you're not careful, doubt can creep in. I'm dead center in the middle of the fundraising, but definitely haven't raised much ...barely even a dent. A $300 dent to be exact.
My mission leader looked over my donation letter http://kenyadmorris.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-will-soon-have-opportunity-to-make_4753.htmlHe gave it a great review, which of course gave me a sense of relief ...temporarily. It was only seconds later that he challenged me to raise $500 by the end of the week. I said "umm...sure". The truth was, I wasn't so sure if I could do it.
But then I was reminded of my own words, "I have no idea how I will fund it, but I believe in my heart that I am called to go. I will answer the call. I will continue to believe. It is my hope that you will believe with me."
What good is a belief that is partially believed? I know that I must stand in it completely, or not at all. But more than that, I must not forget that I am not alone. This trip is bigger than me. This trip is bigger than money.
I can do this. I WILL do this. I must remind myself of that daily.
