First Blog! 1-3-09

Well... here we go!
:)

I am starting to blog my experiences that will lead up to the blogging while I am in Japan this coming summer! This is new for me, so I will learn and hopefully improve as you continue to read on my updates :)

Today is January 3rd so HAPPY NEW YEAR! I started my new year off with some friends from church. Just hanging out and having a good time laughing and bringing in 2009! Tonight the same friends will be having a going away party for a friend going to Thailand for the next 5 months! Please pray for his experiences with the people who God places in his path :)

Currently with my trip financially I am a tad bit under where I need to be, but I have faith and I know Christ is going to provide! In my letter for support I sent out I wrote about the deposit of $300 that I sent in. I was extremely blessed with this money at that time. It is amazing how Christ meets deadlines! Currently I have $475 to go towards my 1st payment on January 18. That payment is $700 and through prayer and my faith I know it is going to be provided!

To those of you reading :) Thank you for your support through prayers, letters and financially. I will not be able to thank you enough personally, but I know Christ has blessed you for following what he led you to do. I have postponed mailing your thank you letter until I got this blog up and running. This is for YOU! So you can see where I stand in my fund raising and updates on the trip.

Again thank you! And I will keep you posted!!!




Today I ask for your prayers...
~I speak tomorrow in front of the congregation about my trip and the expectations I have for the summer :) Please pray for courage and the right words to come from him through me!
~My mom is currently traveling back to Wink, TX for her work. Please pray for her safety.
