I am overwhelmed.
No, not in a bad way! In a Jesus is amazing, community is beautiful, and I am so undeserving of all this love, kind of way!
Within the past few weeks, so many of you have encouraged me with your words, time, and partnership. With that being said, here is an update(:
T-Shirt Sale:
T-shirts have been going fast! It is has been so fun watching you all rock them and send me pictures! Here are a few fun pictures(:
Needless to say, it has been a joy seeing everyone support me through this t-shirt sale! You can still get one for $20!
Yard Sale!!! We had such a wonderful yard sale! Shout out to my family, Alexis, Hannah, and Tim for helping out! These people helped serve from the crack of dawn until sunset! A big thank you to my Redemption Hill family! Y’all, 90% of the things at my yard sale were donations from the Redemption Hill community! Not to mention the donations, but so many people dropped by to show their support. I have never felt so overwhelmed and blessed. From the yard sale last week, we made $900!!! We will be doing a second yard sale soon so come on out if you missed the first one!
And now, to introduce my next fundraiser! Save the date for July 2nd because we are having a pancake party! July 2nd from 8am-10am, come and enjoy a meal at Applebee’s La Habra. Tickets are $10 and you get coffee/juice, eggs, bacon/sausage, and pancakes! Half of the proceeds to to my world race so please come out and enjoy a meal with me! Invite you friends too! Here is my official flyer so please share it all over social media. Fun fact about this flyer! The designer of it is a current World Racer who is a graphic designer. We got in contact and she designed this just for me!!
Now that we have covered the praises, I have some prayer requests.
I recently found out that I will be working hourly this next school season rather than on salary. This is a scary transition because to be honest, I wanted to pay for a lot of my year over seas. I had been planning to cover at least half of the funds, and now I don’t have access to do that. I am dealing with my pride and taking it to the feet of Jesus, but that means I truly have to rely on others to help me. That is hard for me to do but here I am. I am about $2,000 away from my first goal. $5,000 is due July 22nd, and with little summer hours, I’m freaking out. I would appreciate prayer and even words of encouragement.
I would love prayer for this season of transition. It is a weird place to be in. Physically I still have months in my job, in my home, at my church, but mentally I am preparing to move and getting to know teammates. This middle ground can be challenging and exhausting at times. Please pray that I am able to be present in both worlds.
Thank you so much for those of you who stay up to date with my life and my World Race. Y’all mean the world and I am so grateful (: Please let me know how I can be praying for you!
