Support raising. I have to admit, this was what I was least excited about when I signed up for the next year. I hate asking people for money. I have always tried to be one of those people that is careful with their money-a saver I guess you could say. I don't like borrowing money and if I don't have the money to buy it then I figure I must not need it. I like being independent and having something to fall back on.

So I started to hand out support letters last week, just a few, just to get started. Well most of my friends and the people I know well are either students or living on their own or both so needless to say money is in short supply. Very understandable, but I just felt sick handing them support letters. Ugh lol Seriously, I am slowly learning that this is a good thing because others want to support, they want to be a part of this journey that I am going on. However, realizing that I have 4 months to raise about $8000, I was getting panicky...and yes, complainy as well.

So the last few days people have asked me how I've been doing and I tell them and then the support thing comes up and I tell them that I've just felt really burdened by it all. Well, I love how God works because one of my friends who is waiting for his student loan to come in gave me what he could-a toonie  (toonie=$2 sorry, wasn't sure if Americans knew this or not lol) and tonight, one of my girlfriends hands me a $100 bill before leaving youth tonight. Needless to say I was shocked! She was all non chalant about it and said "I just had this sitting in my wallet...it was obviously meant for you tonight". LOL uh...PRAISE GOD!!! How rad is that??? I was shocked and felt a lil guilty because I know God will supply, yet I am complaining about it and then as if to really show me, he does it right then and there. Seriously, it just got me pumped and really made me think about this whole support raising thing. Those who are going to give are going to give. I shouldn't worry about it because in reality, I still have 4 months for it to all come in. Funny how fast your outlook can change.

So praise God for this blessing tonight, along with many others and thank you for you 3 that have supported me so far and for those that are going to support me in the future...you are a part of this lesson I am learning and I am glad you are here for it all!
