We have mentioned in the past how humbling fundraising is. Over the past 8 years, we have personally fundraised for our adoptions, friends' adoptions and ASOH Orphan Ministry and now to serve in Guatemala.
I have learned a few things about myself through fundraising:
* It is ALWAYS easier to fundraise for someone else.
* Sometimes I want to cringe when I post fundraisers for our adoptions/missions.
* I have absolutely no problem with people fundraising for their adoption/mission/cause. I encourage it.
* It is a huge honor when someone asks to host a fundraiser for you.
* I am determined to find joy in fundraising. It's a work in process.
* I have learned more about the WHOLE body of Christ through fundraising. I have SEEN it. People enthusiastically donate time, money, and/or talents. Everyone has a place and together great things happen.
* God is HUGE. He is faithful. He always shows Himself BIG.
* Few people can give BIG and get it done.
* Many people can give SMALL and get it done.
* God makes it all possible. Matthew 19:26: Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
