Hey guys!
This will most likely be a long post, and I will add pictures to it in the next few days, just wanted to get the main stuff out before my brain forgets it all!
Oh where to begin, how about I have five or six weeks left in Arkansas!! That is IN-SANE. Ever since I moved here 5 years ago it has been my “home” and everytime I went homehome (back to MA) I knew I was coming back, welllllllll, this time is different and I am getting pretty anxious about it.
Obviously the main reason is the people here who I have just been abuntenly blessed to have in my life, I seriously wonder CONSTANTLY why God put so many amazing people in my life who are so selfless and kind, it kills me. Another reason I am getting sad all the time is my Beaudoins, I have been ” a part of the family” for the past eight years now, watching all four kids grow up and its killing me that in a few weeks it will be such a long time with out them. Also I have been so blessed by my wonderful friend Nickie and her family, befofre I even knew them they just took me and made me feel loved. Nickie has been doing so much for me, from a (I would say warm but its hot here and I have no AC in my car) COOL home to stay in, late night chats, morning coffee, and so many loos ends with prepping me for this race, I feel like she is such a God sent in this chapter in my life, I am truly going to miss all the little things we do together. Along with so many others who have been helping me, thank you all so much!
Updates / Praises!
I have my back pack / sleeping pad and bag / tent (THANK YOU CHRIS AND SAM!)
My team mate Michelle is letting me ride with her to training camp, and I will be home to MA in time for my Daddyoh’s birthday, August 1st
Keep and eye on Peekaboo Magazine in July….. 🙂
I have been blessed by some sweet babysitting jobs this summer and its seriously going to bump up my support by the time I am done. I asked one family I nanny for to keep it aside so they are putting it in the bank and then going to pay me before I leave. Thank you Vangundys 🙂
Prayer Requests:
It has been a struggle to spend a lot of time with God, I know this would be from the enemy becasue I am getting ready to do big and awesome things for God, but jsut the feeling of busyness and things to do is keeping me more distracted than I would like
The whole Malaria thing, I really am dreading getting the shots/meds for it becasue I heard it gives you nightmares and when I had to take medcation for my wisdom teeth I had TERRIBLE night mares, so I know its silly but please pray for none of those!
My support, I still need to raise close to $5,000 in order to launch in Spetember, I am getting there and working my but off, but I need to trust God more as well.
To not get budened by “sadness” thinking about leaving, I seriously tear up everytime I pull down the Beaudoins road!
I think that is it… I will spell check and add pictures to this later this weekend. I love you guys very much!!!
