Towards the end of last week I got an email saying that I had been wait listed for the route that I had initially applied for.
At first I was a little frustrated because who wants their choice to be changed for them.. Well after thinking for a bit I felt as though maybe it was God saying “This is not what I have planned for you” ..
In all honesty I chose that route for selfish reasons.
I wanted to go to Greece and I wasn’t really interested in going to any Central/South American countries.
So after a little soul searching and praying I emailed my mobilizer to see what was going to happen. I heard back from her a few days later and I am officially changing routes!
The initial route I was on was Route 3!
I am now officially a member of Route 1!
This also means that my overall fundraising goal DECREASES!
Route 3 total cost was $17,017!
Now my goal is $16,617.
I don’t know about you, but that’s a win in my book!
The countries I will be going to now are Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Cote d’Ivore, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Philippines, Indonesia, Romania, Kosovo and Montenegro.

PRAISE REPORT –
I have been struggling tremendously with fundraising.
I feel as though my faith is SO small and that if only I could trust God a little bit more then he would provide.
We all would like to say we pray things over (some of us are better than others) and so many things are easier said then done..
But I have been trying to pray about things more instead of stressing out over them (which is every. single. day).
Anyway, I have been doing a lot more praying about being able to trust the Lord and know that he is going to provide where he guides.
On Wednesday I posted about raising just $100. Small donations can make a huge impact. Well, on Wednesday the Lord provided $160 from just that single post PLUS another $300!
“If you have faith as small as a MUSTARD SEED, you can say to this mountain ‘move from here to there,’ and it will move. NOTHING will be impossible for YOU!”
And that is how Jesus slapped me in the face….
Just kidding.
But it felt like it. Because so many of us at times only have that tiny shred of faith left. We want to give up, because it’s easier and the devil.. That little sneaky guy, he’s very tempting. But oh the JOY that comes in the end of trusting that God is going to provide.
Isn’t Jesus just the greatest, y’all?
