Thanks for your prayers, love, and support. Long incredible story short, I reached my goal for my trip to Paris with Songs for Saplings. Okay, Ill tell you: Yesterday I fasted and prayed (when I fast all I want is food and I cant even focus). I laid in bed and ask God what He wanted me to do with my film, other possible projects, and Songs for Saplings. All I could think about was my song Abide and get out of bed and go to the laundromat and wash your clothes. So I did. I had also met up with a buddy that late afternoon and talked about how I just want to trust the LORD in this. Ive been in situations before and I made it through. Thus far I had a trip to Spain and I thought, it thats how far the LORD wants to send me, then thats how far the LORD wants to send me and I am literally tired of worrying because its not something the LORD wants from me. I wasnt made to live in anxiety, worry, guilt, and shame. So, I said, LORD, youre responsible for me and I went out to karaoke and met some pretty cool people last night. This afternoon I had sent a text to a donor for my film project The Peal. I told them that I felt like a crazy and I asked if it would be okay to use that donation they gave me to put towards my film and put it towards my trip songs for saplings. The Pearl means a lot to me, Ive been working on the arc of a project for YEARS, but its dust nature. It wont last forever but the WORD of God will and I was just telling the LORD that whatever it is He wants me to do Ill do it and if I took money from the Pearl and the movie was meant to be made, it would happen. So, I asked my donor and she gave me the okay and then less than an hour later; BOOOOOOM!! I received an email saying that I was only $50 from my goal. I didnt even have time to take the money out of my account. I think Im still in shock. Im in SHOCK. I am in shock. I will not say its because I fasted that this happened today because I didnt even make the 24 hours. I didnt even pray the whole time. I washed my clothes, met with a buddy over coffee, and went to church in the park. Things I do all the time. One thing I did decide was that I wasnt going to worry. I knew whether or not I raised enough money for this trip that I would be okay. With that being said, give up your guilt, shame, anxiety, and worry and just live in the GRACE that God gives you for this hour because His grace is sufficient and enough. If all you can do it say, Im yours, Yahweh, the CREATOR, can work with that.
