Thanks to some amazing people in my life, I am proud to say that I have raised my goal of $3,500! All of that stress for nothing... the Lord always provides. :) I can't say it enough, truly. THANK YOU to all of those who helped me monetarily. I went through multiple avenues to raise this money, and I couldn't have done it without a single one of you. The Lord is good!
This trip has snuck up on me so quickly, and it's hard to believe that I'll be leaving for Texas in just a few days. It seems like yesterday I was just looking into this opportunity and praying for God to lead me in the right direction. My head is swarming getting everything together at school and for this trip. It's a little too much at one time, but I know that the Lord will be my stronghold through it all and I will get everything done. Somehow I'll have to say goodbye to everyone I care about in just five days, finish and send home data for my sweet special education students, pack up my classroom, and then get myself together for the trip. Ah!!! It's so exciting that it's finally here!
On a sad note, I just found out that BOTH of my best friends will be moving to other states a few days before I get back. :( One will be in Raleigh, NC and the other will be in Chicago, IL as their men move with their company every six months for the next two years. There must be some purpose in the timing of this, but I'm having a hard time saying goodbye to both of them way too soon. I haven't known life without them for five years, and it's such a bummer I am missing everything this summer with them. But I'm looking forward to free places to stay...vacation please? ;)
If you have any petitions in your heart that you would like for me to pray for throughout my summer, PLEASE let me know. Call me, e-mail me, tell me in person... I would love to pray for you!
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." -2 Corinthians 4:16-18
