I will be honest and tell you that support raising is HARD. I’ve been trying to meet with friends and family friends once a day or at least have a follow up phone call with them to see if they have managed to get my support letter. The issue is it takes perseverance to push through and actually ask for help. I need help…I need lots of help. I can’t go to Romania without funding and the plan is to be there by the end of the summer. I am amazed though that when I surrender it over to God, He actually comes through. I’m not giving up. I will never give up on support, however I do believe there are peaks and valleys and I’ve been in a valley the last couple weeks. It’s time to start believing the truth….so much of me has been experiencing this strange form of shock, I think. And it’s been hard to shift focus back onto Romania. A wise man just told me a couple days ago that there will always be something taking my eyes of Jesus. In that, I need to maintain looking at Jesus regardless of whatever family drama, hurt, anxieties, etc is going on. I need Jesus more than anything else and that’s what I’m going to be clinging to. I don’t want anymore drama. I’m done with drama. It will always be there, but I’m putting it back down at the cross and clinging to what I know best…my Savior and my God. I’m getting back to Romania. I can’t tell you how many times this week, my heart has been broken because I’m missing Romania so much. I need Romania. My heart needs Romania.
With all of this being said, I think I’m currently sitting at around 32% of my year 1 support raised. I need 90% of monthly support in order to buy my plane ticket and head on over to Romania. I also need 100% of my start-up costs, which I will only have for year 1. Praise God that my start-up costs are almost covered! Monthly support is where I’m needing friends and family to commit to an amount monthly and there’s no pressure, because I don’t believe I’m going to be getting to Romania through pressure. God already knows the givers and how much they will give, so if you feel convicted to give, please take it to the Lord and ask Him how much He would like you to give. Lastly, if you do get a word from the Lord whether about something financially or something to share, please share it with me! You can email me through the comments below or email me at [email protected]. Thank you so much everyone. I know this call is for real…I’m not just faking it to leave this country or something. My heart is torn into pieces from not being able to be in Romania, but I know He’s going to do this!
