Hey everyone!
First of all, I want to thank everyone for their continued love and support! Our trip is just 295 days away, and I am so excited! My trip has a theme song, it's "Shovel" by Katie Herzig. You've probably heard it on the Mocha Club video. After watching the video a few years ago (after already having a deep desire to serve in Africa) I felt so much like God had confirmed this decision for me. I didnt know that it would take a few years for God to prepare me for this trip, but here I am and I AM READY! I have days where I listen to the song and get butterflies from all of the excitement, I have days where the song brings tears for the suffering children in Africa and I have days where I'm so caught up in my own little world that I'm not hearing the message at all. Nobody's perfect.
Fundraising has been a lot harder than I thought it would be, however, I'm moving right along! I know that God will provide! I've raised $358 so far...it's a slow start but a start none the less! I also started the Flip Flops for Africa Campaign! At first I was unsure of this project, but I know the heart God made and so carefully gave to me...and that heart will not let me show up in Kenya empty handed. It's just not possible. God has definiately shown down on this project! I have flip flops dropping into my hands by His servants (my wonderful friends) and I know that he will provide for the extra baggage fee. I cant wait to see their little (and big) faces light up when they get their brand new pair of flip flops. I know it's not much, but it's something that I can do.
I'm planning on having a charity yard sale in October to help raise money. If you would like to donate your unwanted items please let me know!
Thank you for your continued love and support; you will never know how much it means to me!
Here's to AFRICA~ Only 295 DAYS TO GO!
