I'm not usually a fan of Mondays. I have trouble dragging myself out of bed. I move slower, it takes me longer to get out of the house than the rest of the week, I don't usually wake up until about 3rd period (so apologies to my first two classes of the morning), and in general it's not my favorite day. But I've also looked forward to Mondays recently because that's when I get updated in terms of donations for the previous week. The last few Mondays have been good Mondays...and today was no exception.
I am continually being overwhelmed by the generosity of people as they pray for me and donate money toward getting me to Honduras. In this past week, I had over $3,000 donated to my trip, which brings me up over 70% funded...and that's at the low end of things. I've also had people who have told me they are planning to donate, and if I take those people into account (the ones who have given me amounts) I'm really close to the 80% I need for my plane ticket. And all of that in happened in about 2 months. God continually amazes me with how He is providing for me, and who He uses to provide for me. Some people who have donated surprised me. From people I don't even know, to people I rarely talk with...I've had some suprising donations. I've had other donations that far outstripped my expectations. In this, I'm pretty sure God is showing me that I can't limit Him in what He is doing and how He works...because His vision for this is much broader than anything I could have expected.
