This update is about a week overdue, but with travel days, getting hives when we first arrived in Romania (for still unknown reasons..especially since I'm not allergic to anything), and having debrief I have forgotten to share some good news.
I am officially fully.funded.
Yup.
So in basically one whole entire year I raised $15,500. How wild is that? God has definitely moved HUGE mountains for me to be where I am today doing the things I'm doing. To Him forever be the glory.
In light of that, please don't donate anymore to my AIM account. If you still feel led to give I can provide you with two options:
1. If you absolutely want to give to me, please send it to my Mama (514 Seminole St. Perry, GA 31069) and she will deposit it into my bank account. Money in my personal bank account will go toward things I need while I'm still on the Race (toiletries, a new pair of socks when mine get a hole in them, and whatever fun activities we get to do as a squad like visit the Great Wall or Taj Mahal or even go to Greece for a few days when we are on break from ministry) OR it will go toward my student loans that will begin when I get home. Regardless, I will pray over it and use it according to the Lord's guiding, to be sure.
2. My friend Ashli Blackwell (she's from Mississippi) still needs about $1,000 in her AIM account to be fully funded. I love this girl with my whole heart. Her faith is huge and her desire to serve the Lord and His people is massive. You can check out her blog and donate here: www.ashliblackwell.theworldrace.org
Thank you all SO much for your continued support – via prayer as well as financially. God has taught me to trust Him in huge ways with ALL of my needs. He will always provide a way for me to follow His perfect will. He has also taught me so much about prayer and how powerful that is. Y'all, life and death are in the tongue and when we pray, we speak life. Not only that, but it's our direct communication with the Creator of this entire universe which is so beyond our understanding. He is HUGE, but he chooses to listen to us and hear the hearts of His people. Have faith, He is so good!
