AHHHHHHH 33 days till Launch! When I think about this I get this strange little feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can not believe this is happening…SO! SURREAL!
SO! EXCITING!
In other news:
Just about every night I check my funding account to see what the total it. The other night I opened my account up and my jaw feel open when I saw that a friend of mine donated $1,000 dollars! I immediately opened up facebook and wrote an inadequate thank you note (I am not too sure how you properly thank someone for that?). Anyway, I wanted to share his reply. I love it.
“It is the least I can do. When I was in Korea I saw the bad side of human trafficking. I asked my command what we could do to help the women that were there. They just said stay away from them. I also have a friend that knows a woman from Cambodia that is married to an American because he paid for her. I have always wanted to help, the only thing I have been able to do is play with orphans. I prayed about it and the donation is a way I can help. I know you will have a great time, and a lifetime of memories.”
What an awesome response!! What an awesome heart for the hurting. What an awesome friend! This donation was not for me. The money that has come in is not for me. It is for a bigger purpose. The money is going to change the lives of those around the world, those who are not as fortunate as say, you and me. It was then that I realized that people are not giving this money to me, rather they are being obedient to God—they are giving their money, time, and talents to those who are in need….not to me. As much as I’d like to think that if I wanted to raise $15,500 to buy a new car people would donate…I am realizing that that is not the case (if you so feel the need to get me a car we can talk in November). 🙂 The money is for a bigger plan.
So, on behalf of the women I will get to help, the orphans I will get to love, and the families I will get to serve; THANK YOU! Lives will be changed and it will be partly your fault! 🙂
So far I have $9,230 bucks. THAT IS AMAZING! I am blown away.
$6,270 to go! Take a second to this about this bigger plan. **You can support me by clicking on the "support me" link on the left side of the blog.
