On the upside I got a new car!

Goodbye old, Hello New
A few weeks ago I was in an accident and totaled my car. Not a very good start to support raising! Thankfully no one was hurt in the accident. I had a red light but didn't notice it because I was looking for a street sign. I was crossing a one way street that had two lanes. My car was hit from the front and the back.

Where have I been ?
Dear friends,
I am so sorry for my long time absence on my blog. So much has happened yet so little. In April I attended a conference called Kingdom Called. The conference was to train me in how to raise support for this upcoming year. I have been accepted to intern with cru (formerly Campus Crusade for Christ)! Essentially I am a missionary to a few local colleges here in the states.
I am so thrilled for this internship. The Lord has already taught me so much and I haven't even begun! Theses past few weeks I have been setting up appointments to meet with people and explain to them how they can partner with my ministry. It is so exciting to tell others about the vision God has given me for this next year! It is also frightening when I think about the amount of money that I must raise, in fact it is so much that I know it will only come through if this is God's will because I desperately need His help!
Normally in life I like to have a back up plan, just in case my current plan doesn't work. That is not the case with this next year, God has removed every back up plan I can think of. So what does that mean? It means for once in my life I NEED to completely rely on Him and trust Him to come through for me. I mean sure, I need to pick up the phone call people and meet up with them. But ultimately it is God who will provide for my ministry. I have never been in a season in my life where I absolutely NEED to rely on the Lord for everything. While support raising I am only able to work 8-16 hours a week! Just enough to pay the bills. I am also learning how to live with a tight budget.
I am so excited to see where I will be when I am done support raising and after a year of interning. There is no way that I can not grow through out both of these processes!
Well that is it for now, I will be sharing more of what has happened in this past month soon!
XoXo,
Valerie
