Wow it’s almost July already, which means I leave for training camp in two days! Time is flying by and October is just around the corner!
I figured it was time for an update about 2 weeks ago, which is why of course I am writing it today 🙂 So far this has been a whirl wind adventure and all I am doing is prep work so far! God has been blessing me in so many ways. With finances, friends, and support coming from all directions! I cannot even express how thankful I am!
WHERE I AM AT FINANCIALY/SUPPLIES:
My first financial deadline was June 18th ($3,000)… I made it! Thank you VERY much to all of you who have given so far, helping me to make it to that point!
I got my last piece of gear today. We will be doing a lot of camping and I lacked a good portion of what was needed. Thanks to the friends and family who helped in that adventure! Be it advice and direction on what to get, people giving me items, waking up early to go to REI sales or giving coupons so I could save some money, ALL was much appreciated! I am so blessed to be surrounded by such a large support group!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
*I still have about $11,000 to go! Seems like a lot, but I know that God will provide!
*There are a few fundraisers that I am planning on doing (God and time willing) Pray for patience and wisdom as they come together.
*Training camp is July 2nd-10th, I am very excited for that week! Pray for not only me but the whole group. It will be an intense week as we meet each other and are stretched physically, mentally, emotionally. It’s going to be good 🙂
*and lastly pray for health. I was working long days trying to pack in extra hours with work. That combined with losing sleep resulted in me getting pretty sick and I have been battling it for about 2 weeks now. Being exhausted when you need to get stuff done is no fun.
Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the support and prayers! It cannot be said enough!
Blessings, Rachel
