My departure for Australia is only a month away and the anxiety is beginning to set in. There is so much to accomplish before leaving that it is easy to get ahead of myself and start to believe that there is no way that I will make it to my destination. My thoughts are constantly flooded with all the things I have left to do, finish packing up my belongings, organize my storage, sell my car, donate my clothing, pay off the remaining debt I have, book my flight, RAISE SUPPORT and the list continues. That RAISE SUPPORT one is a doozie! I have 30 days to raise at least $3900 AUD for tuition, pay for my flight and make sure to have my health coverage paid for before getting on that plane. In all of this the only way I know it will be accomplished is through Him, I have no other options.
He has provided for my every need and I trust that this dream of mine to go to Australia is something He has planted in me and not something that I want to do for selfish reasons. There isn't any room for selfishness, because this journey is all about what I can give and not about what I can gain.
So in trusting that this is led completely by Him, I have to also trust that everything will be provided by Him. I have already had people pledge financial support which is so encouraging. I was just thinking today, "How in the world am I going to pay for this?" and then I get an unexpected call from some wonderful family friends of ours pledging $300! It was the perfect reminder of who is in control.
