God Always Provides.

Well, God is simply amazing. I knew He was going to make everything work out, I fully trusted His providence, and He provided!

Here’s a story: Probably like a month ago, I sent out support letters to all the people I could think of, and it wasn’t looking pretty. I honestly did felt a little discourage by the pace my supports are coming in, and I wanted to send more letters but I didn’t have any more contacts. I talked to my dad, and he said I should write a letter to the previous owner of the place he works at. At first I kinda blew him off… My mentality was, why would someone support someone they don’t know. He probably gets a lot of support letters and simply could not be able to help everyone. A week went by, and I finally sat down and wrote this guy a letter. I was not expecting it to return back, but I did it anyways.

Then school ended, and still no response from my dad’s boss. I had two weeks in Waukesha before I had to leave for Colorado. So during those two weeks, I made a few support calls, and I few came in. But I was so far off from my target, that I really did not think I would get the full support that I need (at least for the project fee of $3000).

On Thursday, the day before I was scheduled to fly out of Milwaukee. Then out of no where, I had the strangest call from a guy name Gary, at around 11:30am Thursday. I never met the guy before in my life. We chatted, and the reason he called me is because my letter that I sent to my dad’s ex-boss(Robert) was passed to him. And Robert was the president of the company, and Gary worked for Robert as the Vice-President for 3 years in the company before the company was sold. Robert did not support me because he gets many support letters, and he decided to not support any individual requests. However, my letter was interesting enough to get passed to Gary. So Gary called me, and explained why he called. He asked me some questions regarding the project, what I will be doing there, what my goals are and such, and we must have chatted for approximately 20minutes  on the phone. And at the end of the call, he told me that he is considering supporting me, and wants me to send him an email with my address during project. So I did that, and the next day I was off to Colorado, in which I spent the night at the Terminal (that’s a different story for a different time).

Today Saturday, I gave Gary a call to see what he has decided, but I got his voicemail. At this point, I was in Denver about to leave for Vail. So I left a message, and head to my assignment. Then it was 8:27pm, I got a text from Gary. The message was that he and his wife wants to support me for $750, and that I should expect a check in Vail sometime next week.

I had receive two more support in the mail on Thursday , and I was $680 short of the full $3000 for project fee, and this $750 support has put me $70 above that. Now I have $3070, enough to cover the base cost of the project. God sent an angel and provided in ways I never would have imagined. It all started with my dad telling me to write a letter to Robert, and that letter ended up at Gary, and I got a call from Gary ONE day before I leave for Colorado, and got a confirmation the first day project started that I will have enough.

God always provides, His timing might not be perfect in our eyes, but He certainly had a way of making things work, and put all the pieces together, and then we realize God was with us every step of the way. He was providing a plan for me, if I did not follow what my dad said, I would have missed out on seeing God’s plan for me played out. I was glad I fully trusted God will provide the whole way. (I was discourage at some point and felt like I might not make it, but I kept telling myself, God gots this.)

Pray to God what’s on your mind, and leave that burden at His feet. Trust God fully on His providence, and His plan to play out. Try to step out of His way when He works. When you’re told to do something, DO IT! Even if you don’t think it will work.

More stories from Vail soon, stay tuned.
