For those that are reading this, I have just a few words for you–God provides.  Allow me to elaborate briefly!  I have been stressing out a little bit about all of the things I have to do that are upcoming faster than I want them to, and today, after talking to multiple gentlemen in the Backpacker's Shop in Avon, OH for about 45 minutes, I got some questions answered and I got an offer to use a very nice backpack for my race, from a man I don't even know!!  He said that it is just sitting in his basement because he bought a new one not too long ago!!  He also gave me tons of advice on sleeping pads, tents, Chacos and clothing.  What a Godsend, literally!  Also, I have updated a website called SignUp Genius that allows people to sign up to purchase things that I need for my trip and within 5 minutes of changing some things on the website and posting it to Facebook, I had two people step up and purchase things that I had been worried about and were just another thing to my already lengthy list of things I am needing to buy.  So the moral of the story is that just as I am beginning to feel like my head went completely underwater, God pushed me back up enough to catch my breath.  Thank the LORD!! HE IS GOOD!
