4- Months Left:
Well, I have four months left till time to launch so I thought I would post an update on how things are going. This blog is a little all over the place, hopefully you alls can follow.
Preparations are going great. I have got quite of few items on my gear list taken care of including: my pack, my tent, and my sleeping gear. There are still a few things I want so I am posting a link to my wish list, if you want to bless that way.

It amazes me how fast time is moving right along. I'm looking forward to training camp in two months, July 2nd– 10th in Chattanooga, TN!!! I am still am deciding on flying or riding with some team mates. Skype and Facebook make getting to know the team and making friends fun and easy!

I want to wrap up with prayer requests
~ Please pray for God to soften people’s hearts when it comes to giving… and for me to have faith in Jehovah Jireh
~For the team to grow closer together, and build bonds that will last a life time
~For a church to come along side and partner with me, and for me to allow God to direct my path to that church
~For God to prepare my heart now for what I will be going through on the race.
