As I sit here in Cafe D. I am amazed at how God has provided!I cannot believe I leave in ONE WEEK!
So crazy to me! Just about 5 months ago I was sitting in this same spot as I told Emily and Rachel about my heart for Africa and that I was feeling a pull or rather a calling to Swaziland. I am reminiscent of what has occurred between then and now... I thought you might enjoy celebrating with me!

-------I rejoiced. Yup actually cried on the phone with Robin! lol.

-----------I prayed over each support letter I sent and was completely blessed.

---------I held a fundraiser dinner event that was a smashing success! (thanks to the help of my close friends and family)

-----Four letters and one fundraiser later I have raised $6, 375!!!

-Got my shots and doctor approval to leave the country.

---------I have worked at four jobs since being accepted...lol. The hospital, the bakery, Gap and a home healthcare position each of which I feel God has shown me how to love fully!!!

----I became a leader with Young Life and have loved the relationships I have built with my girls!!! Can't wait to come back to them!

-----------------I was able to host and sing with Aaron Strumpel as I supported my brother's new passion Project Beauty Restored.

-----I have already been stretched to live outside my comfort zone-- oh boy still working on that! lol.

---Over 45 families and one church has partnered with the ministry in Swaziland.

-I have built a prayer support team-- a group of amazing individuals who are committed to pray for me DAILY!

------------I participated in the Advent Conspiracy and was overjoyed by the 188,000 Imago raised!

--------I have connected and emailed my 12 other team members and watched as God has provided support and other needs for them!

----I have been able to fill an entire bag with ministry supplies that have been donated!!

-------I have been able to spend valuable time with my mom and dad as they have been so awesome about " goodwill hunting!"

There are so many other things but here are just a few you can rejoice with me!!!

As I leave I am sure that I will have many other things to add to my list of blessings.... Each thing teaching me more about my Lord and what He desires for me....
