(25) Fundraising: The Homestretch

Our time before we left was winding down. Our availability for fundraising efforts was limited. But we finished strong When we would start to feel tired and like we couldn't finish a fundraiser we would remind each other that we could do hard things and it was preparing us for the unknown challenges we would face in Ghana. Each effort completed was a miracle and witness that if we trust in God and do all we can He will bless our efforts and miracles will occur. There is no other explanation for how we made 15 orders of cookies or bars, each of which was a dozen treats; babysat 8 times; mowed 2 lawns, hosted a double movie night with firepit activities at the same time; cleaned 28 trash and recycling barrels; sold concessions at 2 more flag football games, and help with yard and house work for a neighbor - all in our last month in the United States, on top of regular life and all the preparations to be gone 6 months. There is nothing impossible when we partner with God.
