Hi friends,

I apologize that I haven't posted recently, it's been pretty busy for me this last month! I was able to have two fundraising events and both were a success! I believe that God is continuing to provide for me and leading me towards this trip and every time someone donates to my trip I thank the Lord because i'm overwhelmed by His goodness! During my events I make a point to talk to each person and try to share a bit about whats happening in my life and how excited I am to be going and it's great, but there are also a lot of difficult moments too. I often get filled with stress and anxiety because I have a lot to prep and I worry that no one is going to come. Often times I feel like i'm a fraud and that I don't love Jesus enough or I am not good enough to go serve or that because I have experienced a lot of doubt in my life that God can't use me. These are all lies from the enemy, God used the most unlikely people to do His will. God used Jonah who ran away from Him, He used David who committed adultery, He used Moses who was a murderer. If God used those people He can and will use me for His will, I just need to willing and have an open heart! Not only will the devil use anything he can to try and pull me away from God, he will also hit me in my weakest spots because he does not want the gospel to be shared! Will you join me and pray that God would fill me with His strength, humility, and confidence as I continue to fundraise and share with more people about this opportunity, and that I would be reminded that the Holy Spirit is alive and active in me to fight against the evil one? Thank you for your support, prayers, and for taking the time to read this!

Mikayla :)
