How I Raised $30,000 in 2 Nights
Twenty years ago my sister and I produced the first-ever Vagina Monologues in Dubuque, Iowa. We'd seen Eve Ensler perform it on Broadway and decided to bring it home.
We had no idea people would react the way they did.
They called the police on us. They told us we needed to leave their town.
We sold out both nights anyway and raised $30,000 for the Riverview Center. This year we're holding the 20th anniversary at Voices Gallery.
Day 5 of the series is about Will. Not the white-knuckling kind. Ha! The faith-rooted kind that holds its direction and finds the channel even when the room is saying no.
The opposition wasn't the obstacle. It was the curriculum.
James 1 says the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work. We didn't raise $30,000 despite the resistance. We raised it because we didn't let the resistance create what was possible.
Today's homework is, name one place where outside circumstances are draining your will right now, then ask yourself are you trying to smash through it, or are you looking for the channel where the energy flows?
Post your answer here.
And tell me what's something you did anyway when the world said "we don't do that here"?
