I typically only like to write blog posts when I am feeling super inspired or nostalgic or some other intense feeling that could be portrayed well with words to you guys.
Recently, my writing bug has not been biting me (It’s a metaphor).
So to update you all who like to follow where I’m at:
I graduate a week from Wednesday (whaaaaaat)
I leave for camp two weeks from tomorrow (YEAAAAHHHHHHHH) and will be gone til the beginning of August. It’s gonna be awesome.
The past seventeen/eighteen years have been great so far.
Some days, I am fearful of the race. I fear being SO far out of my comfort zone. I fear not having an Emily Gulick to run to when I need to talk about something or make a joke that no one else will laugh at. I fear ugly disgusting bugs. But my biggest fear is that I will be forced to eat a snake. Ya know how in foreign countries (or maybe here in America I don’t really know) it is rude to not finish the food your host provides for you? Well I’m afraid there’s going to be a snake sitting on a plate in front of me. I’ll let you guys know if that ever happens..
As far as fundraising goes, God is faithful. It is so cool watching him provide for me in the CRAZIEST ways. It really is crazy.
He has given me a heart of peace over fundraising, which is probably the biggest gift ever. Except for one night in January, I have not been worried about the funds coming in. Sometimes I do get worried that I’m not worried though and think that maybe I just don’t care enough. I have learned that to be false.
My next deadline is next month, and I need $2,300. If the Lord prompts you to give, there is a “Support Me” button at the top. If not, don’t worry about it he’ll prompt someone else.
Life is cray cray and I am just astounded at how much Jesus really loves me.
Good night friends,
Bailey Barnes
