Halfway There!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I hope you had a great holiday. I know mine was spent eating delicious food and playing euchre. Since it was a green Christmas this year, I also got to pick up fallen sticks in my grandparent’s yard and then my cousin and I set it on fire. Whenever we get to set things on fire, you know it’s going to be a good time.

I just wanted to share the good news: I am 55% of the way funded! Woo! I could not do it without your support including you anonymous donators. I don’t know who you are, but I sincerely thank you for the amounts you have given. 

In three days, I walk out the door of my workplace for the last time.

In four days, I walk out my amazing apartment for the last time.

In seven days, I board a plane that takes me to Georgia and reunites me with the beautiful O Squad.

Provided all the Covid tests are negative and no unforeseen circumstances occur, I’ll be in Europe in three weeks. It’s crazy how life can change so quickly. But I know every time I choose to live my faith out loud, it’s going to be an adventure. If we allow God to lead us, following Him will never be boring whether that looks like going on a mission’s trip or attending work faithfully and being a light where you are planted.

In thirteen days, it’s my birthday. Woo! Getting older and wiser (hopefully)! If you are looking for an opportunity to bless me or say “thank you for being born”, here are the ways you can do it:

Adventures in Mission: Click the donate button on this blog! Donations through their page are tax-deductible.

T-Shirt: If you want to get a cool souvenir, you can also get a t-shirt I designed in order to fundraise for this trip. About $10 from each purchase goes towards my fund.

Also, you’ll know it’s me because all my profile pictures are cats with money…

My goal is to be 100% funded by the end of March.

In three months, I need to raise $1,769. We can do it! I know we can!

That’s like if 24 people gave $25 a month, it’d be done or if 12 people gave $50 a month. Boom. Funded. I owe no man anything except to love him (Romans 13:8).

Philippians 4:19

“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” 

2 Corinthians 9:8

“And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.” 

Ephesians 2:8-10

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God–not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

I can’t wait to share more stories of what has happened and what is yet to come.

Stay tuned. I’m just getting started.
