So, I've been rather stressed lately about a few logistical things regarding the Race the preparations leading up to it.
Like, real stressed.
And today I decided that instead of stewing about them alone in my bed at night and not sleeping, it might be more prudent to put them out in the open so people are aware of my needs and are able to lift them up in prayer, or help me out, if that's what they're into.
So, obviously, first things first:
I have yet to receive even one cent in donations, and while I know I'm still pretty early in the process…I'd be lying if I said I wasn't troubled by that. I still have a long ways to go and a lot of things up my sleeve to try and get those funds, but just being able to see a LITTLE something would be incredibly encouraging.
Secondly, I have no idea where I am going to come up with the money for my ticket to training camp. I am attending my best friend's wedding in Virginia three weeks earlier, and the airfare for that, on top of the work I will be missing because of it, will make my financial situation tighter than it already is. I do have faith that it will work out, but being able to have even an inkling of how it might work out would lift a great weight off of my shoulders.
Lastly, THE GEAR. Oh, the gear. I simply do not have money to go out and buy all brand new gear that will be required for camp/the Race, so I am praying and am hopeful that I can find things used (FO' CHEAP!), or have things donated to me (FO' FREE!). I will try to get a list up somewhere soon of the things I need, and if you and/or anyone you know have any leads on where I could find those items for little to no money, please let me know.
Well, I think that's all.
Sorry this post wasn't more fun; here is a picture of a dog wearing hotdogs:
