Hey everyone.  I’m so excited about this post…I’ve been antsy all day.

   Tons of stuff was donated for the garage sale on Saturday.  My place was a huge MESS .  I didn’t get organized until late Friday night.  I stayed up til about 2am and then I couldn’t sleep because I was thinking about money.  I had made some signs on paper but didn’t have the time to put them around the neighborhood so I was worried that people wouldn’t know what was going on.  Finally I just had to surrender it all to God and pray for a clear mind and rest.  The weather was absolutely perfect and I had some great friends to help me early in the morning.   God brought the shoppers and now my house is practically empty, save a corner’s worth of the leftovers. =P

   I expected to receive maybe $500 out of the whole deal.  Get ready for this…by the end of today (just a few people still owe me) I received just over $1,000 for The World Race!!!

How sweet is that?!

   I’m still crunching numbers, but I believe this brings my total need to $4,781!! 
 
  To be at 60% by May 15th I just need $1,961!!!  This just blows my mind guys!
 
   On top of that, several people have offered to share info about the trip with their pastors to see about sponsorship and prayer!  God is using this trip to bring the Church together for His glory.  The prayer support is precious to me, but please continue to help me spread the word so that this last amount of support is provided and will be the last of my worries while I’m overseas!
