Thank-You
I am writing to thank each one of you who have prayerfully and/or financially contributed to make it possible for me to travel to Thailand as part of a mission team ministering to wounded women. I am excited to tell you that because of your gifts, I have reached the $4,000 goal, which covers the cost of the trip! I now have my airline ticket to Thailand and back. I am excited because I know God has gone before me, and He has made this possible. When I started this endeavor, to tell the truth, I didn't have a whole lot of faith. I figured I'd just try it out and see what happened. I was exploring my options, and I thought this could end up at a dead-end road, just like any other. To the human eye it looked as if all the odds were against me. I was late sending in my application. I was late sending out my support letters. I knew no one who would be on this trip. I had never traveled overseas before. I had no idea of the unknown that lay ahead of me. Despite these 'odds', if you wish to call them that, God has come through in a miraculous way. I am continually amazed! I would like to share one such provision. It was the second week of December, the deadline for needed funds was Dec. 28, and I still needed around $350. Nothing had come in for several weeks, and I knew I needed to purchase my plane ticket sooner rather than later, if I didn't want to pay an exorbitant price. So I decided I would send in the needed amount. The next morning I wrote out a check for $347, and placed it in a stamped and addressed envelope. I laid it aside to carry outside later because I did not want to face the cold outdoors so early in the morning. As the day passed, it totally slipped my mind, until it was too late to send out that day. I was like, "Oh, well, I'll do it tomorrow." A few minutes later I checked my email, and found one waiting for me to tell me some funds had come in, and I had reached the 4K mark! I felt so blessed (and excited!)! God's timing and provision were exactly what I needed.
