To my dedicated and much appreciated readers and supporters- Thank you so very much for your financial help.
Because you allowed the Lord to use you, I am now
FULLY FUNDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can finish this 'race' and I am able to continue following the Lord's will in this crazy journey. This means I'll get to AFRICA and who knows what that will lead into for the rest of my life! Every smile, every hug for an orphan, every scoop of food handed out, every prayer with a homeless person, every shovel of dirt, every bible study, all the shared testimonies, every worship song, and in every other random ministry opportunity that I have encountered, these were all possible because of you.
THANK YOU FOR SENDING ME.
Thank you for letting the Lord do incredible things through you.
Thank you for praying for me.
Thank you for frequently asking my parents about me.
I cannot begin to tell you the incredible impact you have created because you sent me. Personally, I have changed and grown quite drastically. The Lord has revealed to me newness in the depths of His glory. Thank you for supporting me in that journey.

And since I'm on the thanking-people-train…
To my friends: Thank you for supporting and loving me, even when you barely hear from me. Thanks for the memories that make me laugh and miss you so much. Thank you for the blog comments and the supporting e-mails that make so much difference when I want a piece of home so badly.
To my FAMILY: Thank you for giving me into the hands of the Almighty, and trusting Him so faithfully. Thank you for encouraging me and getting excited for me. You have been there, always cheering me on. I couldn't ask for anything more. You all have sacrificed your money, your sleep (to talk to me at 4 AM), and taken on responsibilities for me that I can't manage being overseas. You are the behind the scenes making this missionary possible. Thank you for trusting God and being steadfast examples of Christ in my life.
To my Grandpa: Even though you may never get a chance to read this, I want to say what an inspiration you have been. Years ago, you chose to follow the Lord's call and go to jungles of Papua New Guinea. Ever since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, I have lived with a great amount of respect and admiration for your dedication to Christ. I remember hearing you recite chapter after chapter of the Word of God from the inner parts of your memory. Because of your inspiring life story, a fire for missions was lit inside of me that I don't believe will ever go out. Thank you for standing strong in your convictions and letting no one dictate what your relationship with the Lord should look like.
p.s. I posted this blog as an exception because of the wonderful news.—-> the internet fast continues— talk to ya'll march 1st
