Today is 11/1/11 and on the day after Thanksgiving, I will be turning 29 years old! Crazy and bittersweet to think that this will be my last year in my 20s. It seems like just yesterday I was a rebellious teenager giving my dad a hard time. Haha (thanks for putting up with me Dad lol)

Yet here I am, sitting at Mozart’s enjoying the weather and the scenery of Lake Austin glistening in the sun… listening to Jesus Culture and thinking about how in just two months I’ll be packing my entire life into a 75 liter backpack for 11 months…I’ll be spending the last year of this monumental decade traveling the world, serving as the hands and feet of Christ, living out my faith in a whole new way.

I like to tell people, “my 20’s are going out with a bang!” ๐Ÿ™‚ So…shooooooot!

Anywho ๐Ÿ™‚ My main purpose for writing this blog is to present you and your friends with a challenge… I like to call it $29 for 29. Consider committing to either,

1. a one-time donation of just $29
2. a monthly commitment of $29 for SIX months
3. OR a one-time donation of $174. (that’s $29 x 6)

I’m leaving the choice up to you. Instead of birthday gifts and whatnot, consider taking up this challenge and supporting me with a gift of just $29 bucks! And hey, if you do this, maybe I'll treat you to a nice afternoon at Mozart's… I mean check it out, how can you resist? ๐Ÿ˜‰
