I guess the two don't necessarily go together. Ever since we read the biography of George Mueller, however, it is like I finally understood that anything is possible with God. George Mueller had amazing faith. He would have a huge need, not tell anyone about it, pray, and see the need answered in an awesome way. The question isn't if I know that God can do anything. The question is, do I REALLY BELIEVE it.
My 17yr old ds and my 14yr old dd have their hearts set on going to Scotland on a mission trip in 3 weeks. We have been working hard to raise the money. We just did a taco dinner fundraiser and it brought in $400 profit. They had to raise $3,600 each to go on this trip. That's over $7000. They only have a total of $2000 left to go between the two of them. Great! Except that they only have 3 weeks left. Even if we had a car wash and made $500 we have no idea how to get the rest. The plane tickets have already been bought...so if they don't raise the rest of the money they lose most of what they have already raised. We paid for their flight to Texas where they go for training first. So...we don't have the money for more. I so know that they need to see this happen. I know this trip will be good for them too...not just the teens they will be ministering too.
So if you are reading this, please pray. Pray for their finances, my/their faith in God providing, and for a safe trip.
And if God touches your heart and you want to help make their trip happen...go to drawandwrite.com and buy a book. We will donate 80% of the sales from our website over the next 3 weeks to their trip.
