$1,000 in one week!!

So, if you have been following me on twitter or facebook you know that this past week I did a HUGE push in fundraising. My mom surprised me last Wednesday with an offer to match any donations made in one week. I am sure she had no clue what she was getting into, even though she assured me that she was willing to match WHATEVER was given, no matter the cost.

Well, He was faithful as always! I received $1,000 in donations in one week! I am completely BLOWN AWAY!! Thank you for following my time here and being willing to give! Only through Him is any of this possible! Words simply cannot express the gratitude that I feel for every dollar that was given.

This is not the end, it is only the beginning of His work. You SLAMMED a hole in my need for next year. I cannot wait to see how He will provide the remaining money that I need. He is so faithful to those who are faithful to Him. Truly!!

Psalm 18 (go read the whole Psalm, cause it's GOOD!)

 ¹⁶ He reached down from on high and took hold of me;
   he drew me out of deep waters.
¹⁷ He rescued me from my powerful enemy,
   from my foes, who were too strong for me.
¹⁸ They confronted me in the day of my disaster,
   but the LORD was my support.
¹⁹ He brought me out into a spacious place;
   he rescued me because he delighted in me.

 ²⁵ To the faithful you show yourself faithful,
   to the blameless you show yourself blameless,
²⁶ to the pure you show yourself pure,
   but to the devious you show yourself shrewd.
²⁷ You save the humble
   but bring low those whose eyes are haughty.
²⁸ You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;
   my God turns my darkness into light.
²⁹ With your help I can advance against a troop
   with my God I can scale a wall.
