Hi friends!
So…the people in my life, and the people on this squad, are amazing. You know how I need to raise a total of $16,242 for my World Race trip next year? Well, two things:
A) I have nearly $4500 in my account…which means I’M NEARLY 30% FUNDED. Which is absolutely amazing…and is such a testament to the generosity of my friends and family over the past month. To those who have given financially, or prayed, up to this point–thank you so very much for giving me a portion of the time and money God has entrusted to you. I still think it’s crazy that God would bother to bring your resources and my life together like this and build us into being a support for each other…but it’s beautiful! So thank you! And…
B) (…and this is SO STINKIN’ COOL)…my squadmates are an absolutely amazing example of the selfless generosity and support that exists in the church. Not just once, but TWICE this week, they’ve offered their time and resources to produce absolutely amazing works of art that we, the rest of the squad, can offer to each of you for purchase–and they’re letting us each keep the proceeds for our trips!
…did you get that?? They’re offering, basically, to help the rest of us fundraise…and they’re asking for nothing in return.
WHAT.
This is my squadmate Eva’s calligraphy! She’s taking orders to write out anything you might wish, on either 8×10 or 11×14 paper, and ship it to you! ANYTHING, friends!
And THIS is the amazing calendar that one of our squadmate’s friends designed for her. Each month features a different image chosen specifically for the country we’ll be in at that time, so it’s a great reminder to pray for us…and as if that weren’t enough, it’s RIDICULOUSLY adorable.
Aren’t they both great?? If you’re interested in commissioning a handwritten Scripture or ordering a lovely calendar for 2015, either email me, comment, or follow the directions below! I’ll get between $18-35 for each calligraphy piece or calendar that you purchase–and they make excellent Christmas presents!!
Ridiculously thankful for your support and the extraordinary encouragement that comes with having community in Christ–
Alicia 🙂

HOW TO ORDER!
For calligraphy: either message me on Facebook, email me via the Contact tab on the left side of this page, or email my squadmate Eva directly ([email protected]) with the Scripture passage or quotation you’d like and the size! 8×10 prints are $20 and 11×14 are $35. Seriously, where else can you get such a perfectly personalized gift for only $20??
For the calendar: just copy & paste this link to your browser (http://bit.ly/1uYocVS), fill out the order form that comes up, and then either give me your cash/check or pay my teammate directly through Venmo! It’s that easy! My teammate will start shipping out calendars near the end of November, but you can continue to order them until the end of the year. The $25 cost includes $7 towards shipping & handling, the actual calendar cost, and a commission for the artist to honor her work, which I think is awesome!
If you have any questions, just let me know! 🙂
