overwhelmed!

i am overwhelmed.

i am overwhelmed by God's goodness. i am overwhelmed by the blessings that you all have been in my life these past years, and especially in these past couple of months.

thanks to all of you, my supporters, i am now over 57% funded. that's right, 57%. and it's only been just over 3 months of raising funds. God is so good, and you are all so wonderful!

thank you everyone for all of your generous donations and support to help me reach the amount needed to go on the world race! i am so thankful for all of your friendships and the blessings that you all are to me!

all of you are a huge blessing in my life!! 

i am also working on living in the moment. it is hard to be living in the today when the world race is approaching quickly. but due to my experience of living in australia in 2010, i think that has really helped. because when i was here in salt lake city, i would count down to when i would be living in australia. but then when i got to australia, i was counting down the days to when i would be back home. it was hard because i was not living in the time that God had so graciously given me.
i have talked with my dad about this quite a bit, and my goal for the year is to enjoy every moment God is giving me, because today could be my last. it reminds me of the song by kris allen-live like we're dying. it's true, this is the day which the LORD has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it (psalm 118:24).
his is the day which the Lord has brought about; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

so, today, i am enjoying the moment. i enjoyed this winterless winter day by taking my dog out on a hike. we soaked up the clear skies and some lovely sunny vitamin d. 

prayer–to rejoice and be glad (and thankful) for every day God graciously gives me.
