SO MANY BLESSINGS!

God has truly been good to me.  He has blessed me financially for this trip.  I have reached my half balance for the missions trip to Ghana, Africa! This is a big milestone, and this all happened just in time, considering the half balance is due April 6th.  I was so excited to be so blessed by family and friends! God provides! I ask for you to continue to pray for the team and people of Ghana.  I am excited as the trip comes even closer! In about a month and a half we will be leaving. Pray that more support financially continues to come in! I know that God will provide! Thanks for everyone who has and is supporting me!

God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!

My greatest supporters!

God's blessings!

God has truly blessed me with this opportunity to go to Ghana, Africa this May.  I am very excited to be making this adventure to spread God's love and word!  My family and friends have blessed me so much and shown me what wonderful people God has placed in my life.  They have donated $375 to my trip.  Terri, Michele, and Carson (family) helped me put on a garage sale this past week where I earned $200! I am excited to say that Haley and Justin Stevens, my sister and brother in law are planning to put on a great garage sale with tons of great stuff and ALL of the money will be put into the trip! WOW God is wonderful! I am so grateful for the love and blessings he has poured out on me! He is so amazing!

This week, I found out my old passport had been lost in transit to the Department of State office.  This means my new passport is being withheld until all the necessary paper work goes through, and I am needing it in less than 2 weeks for a Visa.  I was very frustrated finding out that this obstacle had been put in my way, and it was not my fault.  I then have to remember that God has plans for me in Ghana and will work out the situation.  I am honored, like Job in the Bible, that He would choose me to test.  My wish is that you would pray for the doors to be opened and that I will receive my passport in a timely manner!

Blessings!

Craziness

I am getting more and more excited about my trip to Ghana! The team has held two car washes and already have a couple more fundraisers in place.  I am also excited to already be having a response to my request for support from family and friends! I am truly blessed.  I will also be having a garage sale over Spring Break to get some extra cash for the trip.  The trip will cost $3500 and I am on my way to getting the funds!  I have begun to do more paperwork and such for the trip, and I will hopefully have all my shots and such taken care of by the end of break.  Continue to pray as the team and I raise funds, listen to God's voice, and live for Him.
