NowToday begins the soft opening, as it were, to my fundraising efforts. A few letters hand delivered or mailed to some close friends and family members before I get a whole stack printed at the UPS store.
The fundraising has 3 important stops on the way to my goal of $12,000.
I did realize one more thing that really knocked out any imagined need for anxiety I had about this. God has called me to this, and where God guides, He also provides. This means I don't have to convince anyone to sponsor me, God has prearranged for them to help. That means I am on a scavenger hunt, which is way more fun to think about.
Another fun part is that I realized I get to organize a concert or two to make it even more fun...get a groups of bands and musicians together for a fun time, and oh by the way its going to help raise funds...sweet.
So here's a passage that I read that really cemented the idea of God's provision in the midst of His calling for me. Its Joshua 1:1-9
"Now it came about that after the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses servant, saying, 'Moses My servant is dead; now therefore arise, cross the Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them, to the sons of Israel. Every place on which the sole of your foot treads, I have given it to you, just as I spoke to Moses. From the wilderness and this Lebanon, even as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and as far as the Great Sea towards the setting of the sun will be your territory. No man will be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I have been with Moses, I will be with you; I will not fail you or forsake you. Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from t to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
The fundraising has 3 important stops on the way to my goal of $12,000.
- 20% or $2,400 by the time I step on the campus in August.
- 50% or $6,000 at which time I can get a living stipend while on tour
- 100% that means I am done (I look forward to this stop)
