April post in May!

Hi! On the first day of April, I sat down to write this post and thought “I feel as if I should live through April at least a little bit before I write this post,” and now it is May 10th and here I am writing my April post. I feel a strong feeling of gratitude when thinking of the month of April. It was that whole month that I just felt so thankful for the opportunities I am given on a daily basis. That is meeting with potential donors, my friends, and just the gift to go on this trip to Thailand and Cambodia. Fundraising during this month looked more like sitting down with my mentors and older (than me) friends and being filled up with peace and being reminded of what God is doing in my heart and what He is working on in my life. When I would sit down and listen or talk to them I would be instantly touched by His presence and feel this abundant and very tangible joy. It feels complete and whole and I would sometimes just sit back and just be thinking of how grateful and how far this fundraising journey has brought me with continually healing, restoring, and just adding on to my heart. I’m walking through a season right now where I am constantly reminded of how important it is to know My God and how important my relationship with Jesus is as I am getting prepared to leave and be on the field and I feel it so prevalent when making day to day decisions and when meeting with people while fundraising. I know God right now is working on making my heart tender for Him, myself, and for life and as these donations come in, I begin to cry, because of the gratitude I feel when knowing that people want to pore into my life, so I can go out and serve and make change happen.
Thank you for reading and have a beautiful day,
