Hey all!!
Thought I would send out an update:
Fundraising is going exceptionally well. Greater that I could have ever planned. I am almost fully funded for the whole year!
However I am extremly overwhelmed with the amount of purchases I still need to make, personally, before we leave. This includes gear, travel insurance, shots, travel to training camp and launching, etc. I am working a steady two jobs at the moment and saving as much as possible. I am trying to pay for as much as possible on my own before we leave since everyone has been so generous with donations (plus I like to feel like I'm taking care of MYSELF and not burdening others). As I was crunching numbers, I realized I would be cutting it extremly close with expenses leading up to launch and not being able so save as much for my year of travel. I became all sorts of overwhelmed and emotional thinking "ITS NEVER GOING TO WORK OUT!" or "IM NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO!"
But then I realized I need to let GOD take care of me. I am just asking for some prayer for emotional reasons as I'm feeling a bit discouraged. But I felt like getting up and walking away from the computer/caculator and leaving it in the dark for a few hours and let God shine through that dark. So I got up and shut my laptop……
