Good News and...

I just had another anonymous donation to my Works4Water campaign on the Charity:Water website.  This is great news!  More great news is that I currently have $4000 raised to build the water well.  The not so good news is that the $5000 I initially set out to raise two years ago to pay for the  building of a water well in Central Africa has now increased to $6000 ($10,000 if I wanted to build a drilled well, which was also my original intent).  Now, is this really bad news?   Absolutely not, as the campaign on Charity:Water has earned $3240 and I have $4000 sitting in the bank, all of which is going to support water projects where they are needed.  That's all good.  Am I a bit discouraged that I will not be personally building a complete water well through this photography project - yes!  However, I am reminded that this is not about me.  This was never about me.  This was always about God placing this need on my heart,  gifting me with an interest in photography and setting me off on a path to bring the two together.  Will people have access to clean water thanks to all of your support?  Absolutely, and that, my friends is GOOD NEWS!!  So, thank you again for your support and know that this support is bringing clean water to those in need.  God is good and that is GREAT NEWS!!
