The struggle is real.

Transparency without Hype.

Matthew 14 28-29 
And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 

I am writing to ask for money. I am praying that God puts it on your heart to support me monthly, even if you haven't felt that stirring before.

I need to raise a specific amount of income in order to provide for myself and my kids. I do believe this is what God has called me to do, so I am trusting HIM to prompt the people He wants to give. But, I know you will be blessed by it!

It's my goal to be able to quit working my outside jobs by the end of July. I am currently working 6 & 7 days a week to supplement the support. I am exhausted, not seeing much of my kids and my church attendance has been spotty. I have not been able to give 100% to any of the areas of my life I am called to.

If you like, I am happy to discuss my role at YMI and why it's important and what exactly you would be investing in, by supporting me. I love to meet with people and share what God is doing at YMI.

Many folks have asked me if I am certain I heard from the Lord when I took this job. I am certain. There were many factors and "confirmations" that led to this decision. It was not an easy one to make, to leave the security of earning my own income. To come to complete and total dependence on God. But in some ways, I know that is what He wants from every one of us. It just looks different for each of us. Some of us are relying totally on Him to provide a husband, or a child, or a miracle of a health concern, or some other financial need, or employment or deliverance. 

Jesus commanded me to step out of the boat, and I obeyed, in faith. I am doing the best I can to keep my eyes fixed on Him so I don't sink. 

I need 20-25 people to commit to donating $35 per month.

Will you also take that faith step out of the boat and join me in this journey? 

Thank you.

Mia
