One Step Closer

I feel so bad for how I have not been updating much on my blog.  However, I have been busy preparing for Haiti and spending time with friends.  I am still in the process of raising support.  I am about 40% of the way to reaching my goal.  I feel beyond pleased for the way my friends and family have been supporting and encouraging me.  I am praying God will provide more funding for me;  if you would like to donate please click this link Outside the Bowl Donation Link and then donate =)  if you have any questions please just contact me and let me know!  If you can put me on your prayer list to let all of my support and funding to come in quickly because I am leaving in a little over than a month.

As Haiti is getting closer (about 40ish days away) my heart gets scared and Satan is all around trying to tell me lies.  One of my friends once told me, when you know Satan is trying to work against you, you should take it as a compliment because he is fearful of how you are impacting God's kingdom.  God has been walking with me every step of the way.  One day I was talking to one of my friends and I said I don't know if I am ready for this change, he told me I think you are more ready than you think.  It is moments like that, where God uses friends to show me that I am ready, that I will not be alone, and that God will never leave me nor forsake me.  I am a child of God and there is not anything better than knowing you are safely with your Father.  I do get fearful of leaving my comfortable life here in the states with my friends and family, but I am more fearful of not listening to God's calling for my life.  I want nothing more to do His will.  It doesn't mean it will be easy, but I know I will not be forsaken. 

I have gotten all of my bedding for Haiti and it is with the Tugwell family to be shipped to Haiti.  They are planning on leaving the first week of July and I will come a few weeks later. I just found out today that my brother, mom, and dad will be going to Haiti with me when I move!  I did not think my brother was going to be able to come but God can make the impossible, possible and I am SOOO excited he gets to be a part of this new move.  I will keep you posted and hopefully get some pictures updated soon!  God Bless.
