Hello my awesome rad people's!
I write this blog with an overwhelming sense of joy so please excuse the repetitive capitol letters and exclamation points.
First off, and most importantly, YOU ALL ARE AMAZING. I am overjoyed when I check on my updated financial support "log" and see multiple amazing examples of God's goodness and the friends He has blessed me with. REGARDLESS of the amount, REGARDLESS of how many times, REGARDLESS of how you view your donation, you need to know how incredibly awesome it is that:
1. The holy spirit is at work in you (powerful).
2. You are a part of my incredible journey aka you are just as responsible for orphans being loved on as I will be. "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." Mathew 6:21
3. You are a steward of the Lord and I'm honored He has chosen you to join me on this wild adventure.
My friends, it is time for an official update. Drum Roll please…daddadadddada
With your generosity and love…
$4,521.50 has been raised!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(side note: this total amount includes the overall total of monthly pledges)
LAUS DEO!
aka
PRAISE BE TO GOD!
My friends, as crazy as it sounds, I praise God that I am weak! I praise God that I am incapable of accomplishing ANYTHING on my own! (James 1:2-4)
Why?
Because through it He has used YOU to continuously remind me of His power, His grace, and His love.
Laus deo for those who are praying for me.
Laus deo for those who are encouraging me.
Laus deo for those who are standing by me even though they think I'm crazy for doing this.
Laus deo for those who are financially supporting me.
Laus deo for He is good.
May God in return for your gift, support, and encouragement, overwhelm you with blessings!
"A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25
Joyfully,

Like usual, I couldn't end this without a little music. So turn it up, raise those hands, and swing those hips 😉
