Such A Blessing...

WOW! I can't believe that I doubted God for one second! I always knew deep down inside that I would some how get enough funding for the trip, but I had my doubts! I kept telling myself that since God won't waste an opportunity to show off his glory, love, and mercy that he would use my funding as an opportunity to show me personally how AWESOME HE IS! I guess I always knew that but I had never really experienced it personally! It was such a relief as well as a blessing to hear that my trip was totally funded! The pastor's son who is going on this trip had gotten an extremely large check. His account was fully funded so his mom wanted the money to go into my account so now I am already to go in the funding department! I don't think you can ever be emotionally ready for a mission trip so even though we go through a ton of training it may never prepare us for the slums! I am really happy that I don't have to get shots because they scare me nearly to death! I am over all of the hard parts of the pre trip phase and I am getting ready as best as I can spiritually and emotionally for the trip! It is only 2 weeks until the team departs and I CAN'T WAIT! Thank you for all of your prayer and support!

Indescribable!

I'm SOOOO amazed at what God has done in my life. I've finally found a Bible I can understand and LOVE reading. My God is so INDESCRIBABLE! I'm so thankful of all the work he is doing in my heart. I'm extremely excited to go to Kenya. Every time my family drives past the airport I find myself day dreaming about landing in Kenya and the excitement I felt on my first two trips becomes renewed each time! I have a couple concerns about the trip but my number one concern is raising funds. I want to raise enough money so my parents aren't burdened with having to pay however much money I don't raise. I know God has it all under control and been praying that he will use this to bring out the best in people not the worst. I don't want to make people feel burdened by giving so if you feel this way just pray about it then decide if you're going to give. I definitely need your prayers! Please pray for protection, provision, and that we would impact the people of Nairobi for God's glory not ours! Thank you so much!
