Just wanted to write because I haven’t in a while and it has been too long.
Things have seemed to be going by SO FAST. I am currently in Corpus enjoying a few much needed restful days with my mom, grandmother and grandpa. It has been nice… I have only been home to Corpus I think a total of 2 or 3 times in the last year. When I first arrived home I had a breakdown… I think all of the change hit me at once. I had said goodbye to some of my friends for the last time before I left the city and realized that my life is about to turn in a totally different direction than the one it has been for basically my entire life. That being said, HOW EXCITING.
It is funny how I have become very relaxed about most things. I don’t care at all about what I am doing as long as it is with someone I care about… I dont have much of a preference about anything because I figure I won’t have many options on the race. I find myself sleeping uncomfortable in beds… I think that is a good sign, that sleeping pad will feel really nice.
God has really been pruning me and refining me. It has been an amazing time of growth. A hard one to say the least… when God reveals things in your heart that aren’t pretty and hurt when you face them it isn’t fun… but the growth that follows is worth all of it. I have basically learned a simple and important lesson… I will in fact rely only on God… whether he has to pull me there or I surrender… I am somewhere in between.
Fundraising is coming along. I have a quick and upcoming deadline of $7000 dollars and still need approx $2225 to reach my next goal. I could really use your help if you were planning on giving and have not yet. Every dollar counts… it really does. You can donate by clicking on the donate now tab on the side of this screen… you can find mailing instructions to donate by check if you dont want to pay the charge for credit fees. If you are going to give please give by May 25th so the donations can get their in time for my deadline. I still have a total of approx $9700 in order to reach my total goal.
I have really been grounding myself in the word… it is my saving Grace. The enemy has been attacking me with stress, busyness and anxiety. I can really use your prayer in this time.
Thank you for reading, sorry it is a bit lame… I am in a relax and be still kind of mood.
