Passion 2012.

January 2-5.

$200/person.

Atlanta, Georgia.

"The Georgia Dome."

"...Passion 2012 is more than just another event, it's a beautiful part of a movement that's about finding true meaning as we take our place in a story so much bigger than ourselves. It's about trading small dreams for a grand epic that is shaping history and has no end. And it's about a rare chance for tens of thousands of university-aged young people to gather in celebration of their common faith purpose." -268generation.com

Normally,

I take it upon myself to

save up money if I want to

buy or do something.

Last week,

as I began thinking up

new ways to gain a little extra cash

to help pay for this journey

down to Atlanta,

I stopped.

A voice inside of me said,

"Let God provide the means."

The voice was right.

This was an event that was taking place

for nothing else than for the glory of God.

If He wanted me there, He would provide

the money.

I posted on facebook asking if any families or friends

were interested in Christmas photos or a reliable babysitter

as I am trying to raise money for Passion 2012.

I received a simple message from a woman

I met last year.

We don't speak too often,

but she simply said,

"I will pay for you to go."

I was speechless.

I thanked her and thanked her,

then I asked her why?"

She said Beth Moore, founder of Living Proof Ministries,

posted about Passion 2012 in her blog.

She explained what it was and

encouraged people, families, business, etc

to find an 18-25 aged person

and support/sponsor them for this event.

After all, is this age group not the next generation

of Christians who will stand up in this broken world?

She read the entry but didn't know

of anyone she could sponsor.

No sooner did she see my post and

felt called to act.

I just thank God for people

who listen to Him.

Who act on faith

and not on comfort.

I am ecstatic.

1. Because I will be a part of one of the

biggest, most current, national movements.

and

2. Because God just completely confirmed

that He wanted me there.

I

am

so

excited

to

learn

what

He

has

planned.

I urge you.

If Passion 2012 is something

you want to experience.

Trust that the Lord

will provide your financial means.

I did.
