Life has been amazing the past few weeks watching God provide. He has worked through others to provide support for my trip and provide a place for me to live and food to eat. In less than two weeks, I’ll be in Gainesville, GA for to meet my team for about a week of training and immediately thereafter have the awesome privilege to be in Kevin Perrine’s wedding – one of my amazing brothers in Christ! I had no idea how I was getting to Gainesville nor to the wedding in Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Yet now I have a direct ride from Gainesville to the wedding and back, and yesterday my Dad provided for me and found a way to get me a plane ticket to Atlanta for training just two weeks away! I’ve tried so much to figure out how I’ll be able to leave this October and it seems like all of my plans have been thwarted so far, and God has come through in ways I never thought possible. I’m realizing how much of this entire year will be me trusting in God rather than my own abilities. Reading through I Timothy 6:17 yesterday, Paul seems to be speaking directly to me –
“Command those who are rich in this world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.”
There’s so much of this entire support raising and preparation process that God must be intimately involved in. And I’m realizing more everyday, there’s so much of all of life that God is intimately a part of.
With that said, here is the tentative route for our October team! We’re trusting in God and some of this could change. But the plan looks amazing so far! Clicking on the links will open up a new window with a GoogleTM map of the location.

And as a final note, I’m not trusting in either Firefox or Internet Explorer anymore. After three failed attempts at writing this, both were used together to make this entry a success! Is that teamwork?
