I finally found my sugar daddy!
So I was reading my Bible in Panera last Thursday when this older gentleman approached me and initiated a conversation.
Him: "I see you're reading your Bible."
Me: "Yes, yes I am" glancing at him with a furrowed brow.
Him: "So how do you feel about Jesus?"
Me: The brow furrows higher. "Well, I like him so much I made a living out of telling people about him."
Him: "Oh, what do you do?"
Me: "I work with a campus organization called CRU. Are you familiar with it?"
Him: "I am. In fact, I was on the original team that funded the ministry. Do you happen to need any financial support?"
Me: Unbelieving I look at him and reply, "In fact, I need $400/month."
Then he pulled out a check book and finished me off right then and there.
Sound unbelievable? Well, that's because it's a complete lie. I wish I had this ridiculous tale to tell about how all my financial support came in. Actually, I wish I could just remember how it all came in. All I know is that I was trying to convince my support coach to let me go to East Asia for spring break and then next thing I know I was going to East Asia and I was done with support. And now I'm "on campus" with my head still spinning around trying to catch my breath and "get" what just happened.
I am so grateful for all the people who made sacrifices to financially support the ministry I get to be a part of at Ball State and am amazed at the Lord's provision. Although I'm not sure why He chose the timing He did, I trust that He's going to be the one to catch me up to speed.
So this week I'm getting adusted to full-time ministry in the States and I'm going to the Every Student Conference (formerly Life Options) in Indianapolis (Katie, Emily, want to hang out???)
Music recommendation of the day:
Brooke Fraser-the entire Albertine album. Her lyrics are pure poetry and the vocals are to die for.
