 Hi! Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written, I’ll be sure to start updating this more.
I’ve been busy trying to get everything together that I’ll need for my trip. It was quite a reality check the first time I opened my backpack and saw the space that is going to hold a years worth of belongings. I wanted to let everyone know how the support raising is going. My yard sales made a total of $880.00. And the Scentsy fundraiser made $150.00! Currently the total raised for my trip is $4306.90! Thank you so much to the people who have donated and allowed God to bless me through you!

Ways you can help:

-Donate towards my mission (of course)

-I also need people to commit to praying for me daily while I’m at training camp and when I’m on the field during the 11 months. (I need all the help I can get from God, so your prayers are much appreciated! J)

 
– The list of things needed for my trip seems to be never ending. I’ve registered for some things that I still need at REI, so if anyone wants to help out you can search by my name on the REI website and it will bring my registry up. www.rei.com/GiftRegistryDetails/GR2249513

 
–The Scentsy Fundraiser is going to continue for the month of October! 50% of Diann’s personal commission will go towards my World Race. Visit Diann’s web site: www.scentsy.com/5136 and start your Christmas shopping today while supporting a great cause!

I’m going to Georgia this saturday where I’ll be for 10 days for training camp. I’m excited to meet everyone and find out who I’ll be on a team with next year!  It seems like just yesterday I was trying to work up the nerve to tell my parents I wanted to quit my job (those are hard to come by, you know!) and go on a life changing mission trip for a year! And now training camp is only a few days away. I’m looking to forward to meeting everyone, but I’m also nervous about going. This is so far out of my comfort zone, but I know that this is what God wants me to do and it will all be fine. I feel like I’ve always tried to live my life in a little box, and go unnoticed and just hang out “behind the scenes” but God has so much in store for me and I know that He has far better plans for me than I could ever imagine for myself, and I’m so excited to see what the next year brings!

 
One night I was praying and telling God that I was feeling nervous and scared that I’m not going to be good enough to do all these things I’ll be doing, and God simply told me “I’ll be with you.” And I immediately felt better and at peace.
A few weeks later I had a dream that a friend told me to read Exodus 3 because it helped her through a rough time.
When I woke up I didn’t know what Exodus 3 was about, so later that day I looked it up, and it’s the part where God is telling Moses that he’s going to lead the Israelites out of Egypt and Moses is like “Who, me?” And he is kind of resisting God and bringing up his unworthiness and all the reasons he isn’t good enough for something like that, and God tells him “I’ll be with you.”   So just as God was always with Moses and helping him, I know that He is with me also. I’m weak, but He is strong!
