I know that I’ve been needing to write a new blog, but I just have no idea what to write about. Lately has been nothing but work, work, work. Yes, I love my job but man I am so exhausted, with school, work, and attempting to plan fundraisers. As much as I love my school I’m definitely to the point in my life where I am ready to be done and move on, so it’s a good thing that I’m graduating in May.
I have to say that I am so extremely thankful for all of the people that God has placed in my life. Ever since I got accepted into The World Race every single one of them have been very supportive and encouraging. I have amazing friends who done a great job of coming up with ideas for fund raising, my favorite idea would have to be the one my co worker Alissa gave me about going door to door in here in McPherson and asking for a dollar from everyone in support of my trip, which would be absolutely brilliant because if everyone in this town gave me a dollar I would have right around $14,000. This is a genius plan that I have to start working on, but I think I’m going to wait until after graduation to do this one. Also thanks to another amazing friend of mine we are able to set up a booth selling drinks at All Schools Day, which for those of you who are not from McPherson is a day in May where every year the kids of McPherson County don’t have to go to school. So instead that have this huge parade and a carnival and lots of other activities going on. So for those of you living in McPherson please come by and see us we will be in food court area selling drinks on May 14th and also walking around with coolers full of drinks while the parade is not going on.
There is just not much that I can say right now since all I have been doing for the past two weeks is going to classes, work, and then sleep. I’m just so nervous about raising the money for this trip I have never ever done anything like this before and it is really pushing me to fully put my trust in God more than I have ever had to do. God, please please help me plan successful fundraisers and build amazing relationships with those who are supporting me. I am so thankful for all that they are doing for me, but for some reason at the same time I feel extremely guilty for taking money from all of these people. This is just something new and very scary for me.
