SUPER VULNERABLE POST. Maybe the most yet!!š¬
I never ask for anything for myself. I donāt mind asking for fundraisers for church or different ministries⦠but for me⦠nope!
And honestly, even writing this makes my heart beat a little faster. But God has made it clear these past few weeks in prayer: this is not about me. This is about His ministry to others.
I was led to this scripture before making this post. āYou have not, because you ask not.ā James 4:2
Recently, I felt the Lord calling me to attend a special training called Splankna. Itās a powerful, biblically grounded approach that connects trauma healing to the body and spirit, inviting the Holy Spirit into the process. It partners with God, the body, and the mind to bring true freedom.
This training was always held only in Colorado and I have never been able to swing that, but now⦠itās live simulcast in Tennessee! Only 3 hours away!! October 23-27.
And this training aligns perfectly with the mission He has placed on my life⦠to help people overcome trauma, sickness, and strongholds through His power: HEALING! š
Splankna means, āhere, let me help.ā š„¹šš¼
When I first found out the cost, I thought, āHow can I make this happen?ā ⦠then I realized with taking off for Fall Festival for a week and then another ministry for three days, I thought, āI canāt do this right now.ā
And I thought, āGod, I canāt ask for help on this. Itās for me.ā But then a wise friend reminded me: āThis isnāt for you. This is a ministry for others.ā
That shifted everything.
And then I heard Him say, āDo not use your money for this.ā
Wait, what God?
And the Lord confirmed it. He told me not to pay for this myself but to ask others IN FAITH. š³ He then whispered, āCome expecting.ā
Even in this, He is teaching me. Someone once told me, āIf it doesnāt cost me something, I donāt want it.ā And I realize what itās costing me is my pride. Laying that down is part of the obedience Heās asking of me.
And already, God is making a way. I asked if the institute ever offered discounts⦠they said normally no. But then they offered me 50% off the training fee. That is $900 OFF!!
That was His confirmation: when He calls, He also provides.
Ok, God. Whatās next?
āAsk.ā
š³š³š³
So here I am, taking a deep breath and asking in faith.
Hereās the practical need:
-Training: $900
-Gas: $150
-Hotel (on-site at the training): $420
-Food: $150
-Missed work days: $600
Total: $2,220
This feels vulnerable to post, but I believe obedience is more important than my comfort. If God is nudging you to partner with me in this assignment, know that you are sowing into a ministry that will help people find freedom in body, mind, and spirit. This is a true mission and assignment from the Lord. Just like people raise money for mission trips⦠this is me going on a mission trip to bring this type of healing back to Evansville!
This will be run through my business accounts on CashApp and Venmo because this will be in service to others, which is my entire business model: Delanieās Bodyworks and Wellness is a service oriented business.
This way, it is also 100% legit through my business account, bookkeeping and taxes. (I checked to make sure I can do this. All bases covered! ā
)
Lord knows I wouldnāt be asking for donations if He didnāt tell me to because this isnāt me. š„“
I TRUST YOU LORD!!!
This will be under the Wellness category as I will be able to sit one-on-one with people in a therapy like setting to help them overcome trauma and strongholds while partnering with Jesus.
The Lord is bringing COMPLETE healing to our area in more ways than one⦠and this is a game changer! And the time is now! I just know!
He is ready to birth something new and Heās prepared me for this mission!
I am trusting Him, and I am coming expecting that the Lord, not me, will make a way. šš¼
