Ever since I decided to click the Apply Now button; I've known that He was going to provide. I knew that He had called me to do this and with that; I just kept reminding myself, "where He calls, He always provides." As someone who gets a little anxious about finances; I had to remind myself of that a lot. When planning any fundraiser, after a fundraiser would flop or not bring in as much as I 'needed' it to, as the first deadline approached, as I've checked my bank account/savings and had to take deep breaths to calm myself, as I paid more than I planned to for gear and vaccines, and as my car broke down for the 1000 time, I just had to remind myself that He doesn't call you to something that He won't make happen. And keep on praying and believing; I've also had several others that have been praying with me about funds specifically. To those people; I want to say THANK YOU!!! You guys have been faithful and steadfast during times when I didn't even know how to pray for myself.

I am soooo very thankful for every person that has supported financially and emotionally and prayed. It means more than I can say! I'm blown away by the support and love I've gotten over the last several months.

I started my work day on Monday, September 16th 2019 like any other; I got to work; turned on my computer and pulled up my work things, and also opened my blog and personal email in the background so I can write an epic blog whenever the moment presents itself (totally kidding)…and I was needing to update people on how much I still needed to get to the next deadline ($10,000 total; due by Friday, Sept. 20th).

I saw my fundraising bar was at $7,668 which seemed about right as the support that I received the previous Friday hadn't hit my "account" yet. I logged in and check my support info and then began adding up the money I still had to put in there and what hadn't fully processed; I figure up the amount (roughly around $2,100 to go until I reached $10,000), check a couple emails and go back to doing my job.

So, I'm mid-conversation with my coworkers about something; I don't remember what it was, when I clicked back over to my blog... 

That can't be right.

*Refresh page* I can't even really hear what Sabrina and Amy are saying except Sabrina jokingly asking me if I was going to make it and then realizing I was standing there (we have stand up desks) in shock.

That can't be….didn't it just say....?

My fund was now showing the bar almost full and sitting at...……

$17,668!!! 

*clicks over to support summary page*

Okay...I don't see it and it still says $7,668.....*refreshes that page*

There. It. Was.

An "Anonymous" donation of a WHOLE $10,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Side note: it was donated on the 12th but had just processed. I usually get an email when donations are made unless they are made anonymously.

Yay God!! I see You. Thank You Father!!

I was in shock a good part of the day. First thing I did was tell my squad and call my mom. She was so surprised and immediately was like, "Have you thanked God yet??" I was like...…"well not exactly...I've been trying to make sure it isn't a mistake...and I've been in shock!" That's the first thing I did once I got off the phone with her.

THAT IS CRAZY. AMAZING. UNBELIEVABLE. 

I heard God whisper to me, "I told you I would take care of it; didn't I?"

Potential/Future Racers: if you are hesitant to sign up because the money scares you (I was at first); ask yourself, "how much do I trust God? Do I believe He still does big things?" God wants to provide in really cool and creative ways!!

For my supporters: THANK YOU. I’m now almost fully funded which is an amazing thing! I’m so thankful to each of you for being obedient when God asked you to move. I have friends who still need help! Click over to my team’s blogs to see how they’re doing and to donate and help them reach their goals.

To ”Anonymous”: i cannot begin to put my thank you into words. I have no clue who you are or where you are but I believe the Lord used you to answer so many prayers. Thank you for your support. Thank you for being obedient to the call from God.
