THREE DAYS
72 HOURS
that fact has settled into my heart. I have three days to raise 1800 dollars.
But I think today I will not worry. Because God has today, and tomorrow, and the rest. I will ask of my friends, family, and complete strangers to donate to my cause. I will give my time, my patients, my comfort to change the lives of the people in Tanzania. But in the next 3 days, how can I change the lives surrounding me? I would willing walk away from everything I know and give my life to compete strangers. But here in my little apartment in Tallahassee, Florida, what have I given today? Have I showed someone I love them? Have I acted with grace and kindness to everyone around me? Have I shown humility and lived humbly? I am so eager to run, run away from here and into the arms of the African nation. To live with hopeless abandon. But couldn't I be doing that right now, right here in America. So for the next 3 days, as I ask for everyone else to help me, I challenge myself to act selflessly and humbly. To give back to the world as it gives to me.
If you are reading this and have already donated: thank you for believing in me. For giving whatever you could, and for giving someone in Tanzania the opportunity to have medical attention.
If you are reading this and don't have monetary funds to give: PRAY! please pray for the next 3 days, and the next 3 months as I prepare to run into the arms of beautiful Tanzania. Pray for my host family, Pray for my sanity as I let go of control. Pray for a world that no person goes unseen by a doctor.
