Tears fall as I write you now. I just spent this morning and afternoon talking with my team. I let them know where I am financially and that today was the day I would find out whether I would join the January 2009 squad in a few weeks. I was so scared to call in today. I didn’t want to hear those words, “We are sorry, but you don’t have the necessary funds to join us in January.” But, I knew that the call had to be made.
I called Ashley Musick but got her voice mail. I was relieved that I had a little more time to pray about it and hope the money would come in by the time she called back. She called, and there was no change in my account. She told me that she didn’t even want to call me back because she refuses to let go. We shared some tears and she let me know that she is going to give me another day. We are both praying for a miracle. As well as my teammates.
I want to share what The World Race means to me. I want to go on The World Race (WR) because I want to share the love of Christ in places that have never felt His love. I want to feed the hungry, clothe the poor and care for the orphans. I want to be more like Christ! I know that through WR, God will break me, mold me and make me more like Him. I want to be molded into what He wants me to be. I expect to come out of the WR a diiferent person. I want to be less of me and more of Him!
I was raised in a poor community (and still live here) and I am amazed by how God always provided for my family. There were days that we thought we wouldn’t eat but then God spoke to the hearts of people around us and through them He provided. I want to be able to go out and do the same. I also am asking you to do the same. Please, look back at a time where you thought you just wouldn’t make it through but God brought you through by using someone else in your life. Please, be that vessel for God to use around the world.
I really don’t know how to let you know how important this really is. Except to tell you that I love my team, my squad and my coaches! The men from my team are nurturing, loving and God fearing men. I can see God’s light shine through them. They have already taught me so much and I am excited to learn more from them. The women from my team are great woman of God. There trust and strength in God helps me build mine. I love counseling with them. My Squad leaders have such amazing hearts. And the coaches; I love them! They are like another set of parents. I freaked out when my Mother and both my Grandmothers passed away. I never thought that there would be another Godly woman to encourage me and be that role model I needed but Patti has been an incredible woman of God; I am blessed to have met her. And Mike is much like my Dad. Great men and fathers who resemble The Father!
Please, support me today! It is urgent! I have to call by morning with numbers! I have $2,940 and need to bring that number up to $8,280 by morning!
