A different way of looking at it...

I had a similar experience about 2 weeks ago (it seems similar to me, anyway). I try to be faithful with tithing, and after reminding myself all Saturday, I forgot to take my check to church that evening. I was uptight a bit on the drive there and during the beginning of the service, but then I remembered a phrase from a song I learned when I was young: "we bring a sacrifice of praise into the house of the Lord." I knew then that for that night, my offering to God was not, and should not be money. It was my unrestrained worship, praise, and focus on Him.

Could it be something like that with you? That maybe your focus should not be how much money you raise, but how 30HF can be a sacrifice of praise to God?

...just a thought

Blessings,
Michael

Awww... Kimmy, Im sorry about the donations thing! Thats never ever much fun.

Don't worry about how much you get, though! I know its always cool to bring that money in yourself,-I'd be really bummed in your situation- but as long as we have the money to give to those kids, it doesn't matter who raised it. Because the ammount of money is the same to those kids, and, like Michael said, just the work that you are putting into raise that money is pleasing to God as long as you're doing it in a state of worship for God.

Anyways, I know Im prolly preaching to the choir...

but I totally understand why your bummed out... I would feel totally cheated if I were you.

Much Love,
