2012 started off with a bang from fundraising to simply watching Jonathan grow. Over the past couple of months we have raised over $9000.00 which has pushed us that much closer to our finishing goal of $13000.00. Well tonight we are doing a seafood bash including fry fish and oysters and we would love to see you out there tickets are $10.00 simply mention the OUR WORLD post and we got you covered at the door. If you can't attend but want to donate simply feel free to donate to the 4 Paws for Ability link to help out towards the dog. We would appreciate all that you can do. We will be at Washington Park in West Ashley starting at 8pm and leaving at 1am. Security is in effect so please bring your adult attitude and leave the silliness at home.

Where Is Your Faith Today?

¹Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1)

I just have to put this out there. When I was given the task of raising $13,000 for a service dog, I began to think to myself how in the world am I going to pull this off. My mind begins to close on how it was going to happen instead of opening to all the possibilities. Because in my mind we were in a recession and people just did not have the money to donate like that.

When we first applied, I was gunho that I was going to get a jump-start on it. I began fundraising before I even had the final answer that yes we had been accepted by the time we had actually gotten the yes I had raise right around $700 dollars for me it was a start but $12,300 surely did seem a mighty long way. Different ideas began to form World’s Finest Chocolate, basketball games, and many thoughts but as time move forward and things began to fall apart I started losing faith thinking it cannot be done it will not work and this dog situation is hopeless.

Ask me again why did I decide to test God’s faith in him and his people?

Fast-forward to the start of fall and out of nowhere I have people giving me ideas on how to raise money and people who I’ve either just met or simply know through someone else are stepping up putting their talents to use for Jonathan. I can defiantly say networking is everything and simply asking does a lot. Being afraid to ask someone was not the problem it was more or less having to hear no and trying to deal with it and move on without it letting it get to me.

So the next time someone tell you that people don’t care or that there aren’t any giving people in the world ask them have they simply ask before assuming!
