A change of heart?!

So, I've gotta say that so far I've truly enjoyed raising support. But not really the actual support raising process. Because I sure hate calling people up and asking them to meet with me or if they've made a decision. And I surely hate getting shot down. And maybe hate even more the complete inability to ever get ahold of half the people I try to call.

But the thing that has been really cool is seeing my mom's(and my dad's a little) heart change about this whole thing. Because at first, my parents were sooooooo opposed to what I am doing next year and even more opposed to the fact that I had to raise support to do it. And they forbid me to ask any of their family or friends for support. Yeah that was a little discouraging at the time. But I guess if that hadn't happened I wouldn't be able to see the change of heart that has taken place....and only the Lord can get credit for that because I sure haven't done anything that would convince them differently. I mean, they are still not totally on board with what I am doing, but my mom has actually suggested that I send her sister a support letter- WHAT?!?! I know! I was taken aback.....and my dad made a comment about how he had talked to a guy at work who is pretty familiar with the support raising thing and how I should ask this church that the guy goes to for support. "Are you kidding? who are these people and what have you done with my parents?!" was my initial thought. And not only that but my mom tells me that her and my dad are planning on joining my support team, and for a pretty good chunk of change. I mean, these are not the same parents that I talked to in December who told me that I was cut off after I graduated.

So yeah, support raising is cool and I'm so excited to see the Lord continue to work on my parents' hearts as the rest of my support comes in and I begin my internship. Anyways, pray for my family! Good luck to the rest of ya'll with support raising and decisions for the future and stuff!
