Okay, so you've hung in there with me through my 7 months of fundraising for our Russia trip. I have got to report the good news.
From the get-go, I felt God say, "You will pay only a tithe [for the trip] and My people will send the rest."
He guided every aspect, from providing me with a love for crafting wreaths to sell, soup to make, a daughter who wrote and mailed out about 70 campaign letters, a care group who worked very hard to help bring in a lot of money, people who donated good stuff for my eBay ventures --and some customers were overtly Chirstian!, a homeschooling community in need of lots of books that I don't anymore, and a springtime birthday/early summer graduation where gifts have come in for Sarah (which she has donated to the fund). I'm probably forgetting another source or two.
Well, folks, remember how much I needed originally? $6,000.
Guess how much God we've raised? $5,400.
I'm no math whiz, but I think I figured it out that the difference is $600. Exactly a tithe (10%) left for us to come up with.
I stand amazed. Glory to God!
