It's Normal.

When this world shakes and life feels like it's full of twists turns, corners and hedges. It is simply an illusion. I mean what we think to be absolutely crazy and absurd on this earth. Things we get frustrated because of lack of ability for explanation... Why do we feel it always needs to be explained?...

Let me explain...

7 days ago I was $1,000 away from my $5,000 fundraising goal for my Trek across the country this summer. If you don't know what I'm speaking of, please take a moment and read this post and it will plenty catch you up:
It's Happened

So yes this entire time I know that God would provide. However I didn't know the details on how He would do it or when but I knew that he WOULD do it. Again some things can't be explained but that's what makes it even more real.
Monday I was handed a check by a friend from his family for $100. Awesome that is such a blessing. Tuesday and Wednesday went by and I worked my little butt off like always but was excited to make it to Thursday because that meant two days off and a good wholesome walk with a friend whom I had an incredible talk with about Ministry and Mission work. About Gods path that He has us on and how the conversation taking place had already been planned thousand upon thousands of years before. How incredible it is how Gods given us the things that make our hearts ache and strive to serve Him. Explaining gifts and receiving while giving and giving is receiving... Make any sense? It's Thursday and She hands me a check for $100. And as soon as I returned home I had a message waiting for me from a friend from church that explained they were donating to the cause and needed more information on how So I sent her the link and instructions. Another $100. Now I thought that was pretty cool $200 in one day. I personally thought that was plenty but God thought other wise. I was already running late but I needed to go to the office to make some copies of some forms that were due very soon before I left for Seattle. So I decided to check my mail box while I was making copies in the office. Excited I saw two envelopes (I love mail. It brings joy to my heart to see pen to paper moved around to create letters and words that spill the depth of thoughts and updates on what is happening in peoples lives and things that encourage me as well).

One envelope contained a bill from my Mom for my loans...It was still nice to get mail. I pulled the other envelope out and saw that there was only a single line of words typed on it that said, "To: God's call for Daria's Summer". I was very confused and asked Joy if she knew who this was from. She looked at it confused to and said "I don't know...Open it"! So I made a few copies she walked to the front of the office and I opened it alone...I counted green pieces of paper. $20, $40, $60, $80, $100...etc...etc...etc...etc... $350 in cash. I was shaking. Who gave this to me? I quietly put the money back in the envelope and walked away from it frazzled. I could barely hold paper. Lara walked in and saw me and instantly stopped and asked me what was wrong and I pointed to the table where the envelope laid and I couldn't speak...Instead I sobbed. Joy asked if that was a good noise. She found me as well and asked what was up and I pointed and Lara explained what I tried to explain to her. We stood there speechless. Joy laughed and apologized for laughing. She wasn't laughing at my reaction. She was laughing because how else do you react to such an awing God moment? We didn't know what to do so we just stood there. Lara was frozen, I was bent over sobbing and Joy was laughing. Pulled myself together I headed out on my way to get my bike fitted.

The next morning as I was updating my goal amount and what was left, I had an update posted that said, "Knock a hundred off your total, I'm sending you a check". Awesome! So while I was typing in the new amount that was left I had a best friends Mother message me saying to take another $100 off the amount needed... I wasn't even finished typing up my updated status amount! What in the world is going on?

$230 remained...with in 52 hours He just filled it up completely. Yesterday, Saturday, I had another family from church message me saying that they wanted to fund the remaining $230 that was needed to reach my $5,000 goal. Just like that. And it isn't even over yet. People are still donating.

I...don't...know...what...to...say...Nothing needs to be said. Just constant praises.

This is another building block. I told my family. I had my family in tune while it was happening and now that it's happened, people are flabbergasted. Yep. That word doesn't even describe it. Like I said before it doesn't make any sense to me or to lots of others. I knew He would do it. I didn't know how or when but He DID.

On this earth it might seem completely strange, and radically ridiculous. Wild to barely be able to begin to comprehend. But to God, it's normal. It makes perfect sense.
