Hi, everyone! I wanted to post a short blog you keep you updated and let you know that our training dates have been officially announced for October 16th – October 23rd. I am so excited about travelling to Georgia for training, and especially about meeting the other people that will be going on this fantastic journey with me next year.
Travel Arrangments Story . . . .When I checked flights a few days ago for training, the cheapest one that I could find was $229 and it didn't look like I would be able to use my airline miles to cover the trip because the days that I needed to travel were "high miles" days, so my balance wouldn't cover it. That was a little more than I wanted to spend, given all of the expenses that I am currently encountering associated with the trip. So, I prayed about it and looked at my budget and tried to figure out a workaround. God is so good!!!!! When I logged into the site today, 10/16 had changed to a "low mile" day! I was able to use my miles to book a flight on Sunday, 10/16 for the training. I will still have to stay in the airport overnight after training and leave early Monday morning, but I decided that it will be good practice for the long layovers and crazy places I will sleep next year, most of which will not be as lavish as the Atlanta airport! The best part is that I only had to put $35 total into the flight . . .just another example of how the Lord is providing for my needs for this mission.
Thanks to all of you for sharing in this adventure with me and for continuing to pray for how the Lord is working through all of this.
