So last month I was offered the chance to go to China this summer with my friend Victoria, and all you have to pay for is the plane tickets and everything else is included! But what sucked was that it was $1500 and I had NO money.
I wanted to pray about it but then I thought about all the other real sufferings going on in the world that I could put that prayer effort into so I didn't bother praying for the chance and just sort of gave up. I also stopped looking for a job.
BUT. The biggest shock happened to me today. Today was my grad celebration with family and friends and in total from all the grad gifts I got $700!!!!! HOOOOLY. Plus the $300 I had saved up that makes a total of $1000!! And now my parents will help pay and I can go on the trip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But what I learned most from this blessing is that 1. I should always keep fighting until the end and 2. I'm blessed. Honestly. I'm so blessed. I feel over-blessed, not that that's bad or anything but I need to give it all back to God. I owe Him so much, more than just this China trip but my salvation and life.
I don't know what my calling is, but I want to go out there and at least make an effort to help people around the globe who are so much less fortunate.
Blessed to be a blessing.
"As a pleasing sacrifice, I off You my life."
