Urgent and humbling message: (thanks for reading) $2,500 PERSONAL FUNDRAISER! 🔥 💫“As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.” James 2:26 NIV 2 months ago I left my job due to my own personal and professional reason. With that, I have gone on a deep and stretching faith building journey like Job. I applied to over 50 jobs a week, got many interviews, showed up, and never lost hope. I made it to many final interviews and wasn’t chosen. (God taught me the great lesson on my faith is more important than my intelligence or talents) 💫“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,” James 1:2 NIV With joy, I took on this new challenge as a growth opportunity. I attended a super intense 8 week, leadership program with my church that focused on Emotional maturity, Mental maturity, Physical Strength, and Spiritual maturity. My life has changed in EVERY SINGLE WAY. God has literally used my leaders to instill wisdom, hope, strength, maturity, and stamina to be a disciple for God no matter what comes our way. 🥹🙌🏼 I truly believe that if I had gotten a job any sooner or didn’t step down when I did, this life changing event would have never been possible. 💫“Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” 1 Timothy 5:8 NIV I got a job!!! 🙌🏼 in a totally new field of work. Never would I have thought to be in the transportation industry (God did tho! 🦋) No income and still having running lights, last month’s rent paid, food and gas is already mind blowing for me!! However, I am still quite behind and need ANY AND ALL HELP to make it through this month! 💫 “Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs.” Psalms 100:2 NIV I have the opportunity to also go to Chicago for a huge conference where I will have the opportunity to gather with awesome Christian leaders and be poured into! As well as, to pour out to! My dream is to be a Women’s Ministey Leader and this is a huge opportunity to gain wisdom and teaching to reach that goal! My goal is to raise $2,500 both for my home and for the conference! This is my next phase of my summer faith journey in regards to God providing for all my needs and desires- as His words says! 💜 It is with great humility and pure joy from the depths of my heart that I come to you for help! 🥹🙌🏼 Please help me reach this goal! Cashapp $renashannon Zelle: my phone number 💫 “but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”” Proverbs 1:33 NIV
