I just sent in another $700 to AIM today, I am so thankful to God and to you guys! The May 2nd date is coming fast, but I am confident that God will provide for me. I praise God for you, because I know you are praying for me and I am greatly encouraged by that.

There are lots of exciting things going on in my life right now, from graduating high school to teaching in my youth group and more. It seems like almost every aspect of my life is changing and changing quickly. I guess that this is normal for someone when you graduate from high school, it just feels like it’s too much for me to handle sometimes. I guess it is, and I just have to rely on God. He has been teaching me about laziness recently. I have been having to fight laziness, especially when it comes to just coasting through the rest of the school year. I have 15 school days left in my high school career, and I can’t wait to just end it and focus on the trip. I sometimes spend my time looking at backpacks and other gear I will need for the trip instead of doing my homework. He has been convicting me of working hard to get good grades instead of just waiting for graduation.  It is coming soon though, and I can’t wait to be done.

Thank you again for the support you have all shown me, it has blown me away.
