So I was looking at how much money I need to save this summer working two jobs just to leave my parents with enough money to make my student loan payments while I am gone on the World Race. Wow. I feel like this summer is going to be a lot of hard work and not much to show for it. Unfortunately I can not defer my loans through the institution that I have my loans through because they don't allow Humanitarian work with Christian activities as a deferment option. Only if you are not participating in Christian activities. Too bad that will be an everyday thing for the Race! My one wild card for the summer that I have not factored into my formulas is my tips from my second job as a waiter. So if those of you reading this could pray for generosity for those whom i serve this summer, that would be great because I need to be able to pay my student loans AND any money that i don't get raised for my Race as well. However, I know that God provides, I have seen it first hand in my life and in the lives of my family. I am working on trusting Him for all that I NEED (not all that I want, i am also learning the difference between the two), but it is in my nature to work work work and think that if i work hard enough i can do it myself. Trust. That is the keyword for this post i suppose.
