I can now say that I have officially begun the "support raising battle." I do have to raise a substantial amount of money to work full time with Student Venture, but that is not so bad as I would have thought. It is, in fact, or it can be, a great process to go through. I don't know if I've bought into that yet, but that's just because it's hard for me to believe. I'm thinking, "This looks so un-fun to me, how could it possibly be enjoyable for anyone else?" But that's just me assuming that the world revolves around me and how I feel...ah, humanity.
The surprising thing is, as I have begun the support raising process, I've found nothing but encouragement along the way. I've been invited to have dinner cooked for me (who doesn't love that?), as well as had friends tell me they really want to hear about the ministry and what I'm going to be doing. I am really excited about what I'm going to be doing, and the work I'm going to do with high school students, but it's easy to forget that. When I get to tell someone about it, I'm reminded of how good it will be and how much I'm looking forward to it. So, maybe this support process isn't so torturous as I first made it out to be...
