God has seriously been blessing me in the process of fundraising. Friends, family, and even people that I haven't seen in years have donated crazy, generous amounts. I am so grateful for all of you. The sacrifices all of you have been making in order to support me continues to amaze me everyday.
Despite these blessings, last night, I honestly did not think I could do this. The enemy was feeding me lies, and I quickly believed every single one. How could I possibly be ready to leave in 8 months?! As soon as I woke up though, my roommate brought in a letter from a friend. I don't know this friend all that well, but the Lord used his words to bring me great comfort and peace. I never expected this friend to support me (especially with such a generous gift), but he did and it reminded me that God is taking care of me, He loves me, and that this IS where I am supposed to be. It seems as if every time I doubt, God blows my expectations out of the water and more support comes in. I think it is His way of reassuring me and reminding my stubborn heart to have faith and to trust Him.
It has been 2 months since I accepted my position on R squad and am 27% funded! How amazing is that?!
This is happening.
Thank you Jesus, for unexpected blessings.

If you haven't had the chance to support me yet, here are some new fun ways:
-Threads of Hope bracelets. I am selling these bracelets for $2. Half goes to me and half to the lovely people in the Philippines who make them to support their families. You can either buy a few, or I could give you a bundle to sell to your friends and family! I have 1000 I have to sell 😀
-November 11 is coming up, so my team thought it would be fitting to ask for 11 dollars on 11/11 for 11 countries in 11 months! OR 11 dollars a month for 11 months! Let me know!!
-Also, mark your calendars: December 15th from 7-10pm is my benefit conecert!
