Things are shaping up!

A few RSVP's for the FUNDRAISING DINNER have trickled in. If you're planning on attending please contact me by Feb. 12th! My sister and I are busy planning out the decorations, food and logistics to make this event come together. It's going to be fabulous! You don't want to miss it!
I sent out my first mass email about this venture. I'm so excited! I received many positive responses. My first response was from a cousin who I don't see very often so it was cool hearing from her. I'm going to be missing her wedding while I'm away but she's got a great website so I'll be able to see pictures of the big day.
I've added a few more prayer items. Please click on the Support tab to have a look.

"How you handle your money reveals your heart.
If God has your money he knows he has your heart." - Keith Green
At the end of last week I got a letter from the Government stating that my income from 2005 was adjusted and now I owe them almost $1,000 by Feb. 5. (I'm contacting my accountant to figure out what happened). This was a pretty harsh blow because that's about how much money I've saved from my freelance projects to pay for my round-trip flight to Tanzania. Obviously upsetting. Well, I don't have money, but God knows my heart and I just have to continue trusting that God will provide.

another week closer!
25.1.07
This week has been a tough week. Alot of stress and lack of sleep. I'm working really hard to complete all my remaining freelance projects so that I can focus on preparing for this trip. The Fundraising Dinner is coming up in 3 weeks and there's so much to do yet! It's going to be awesome! Check out the "Fundraising Events" page for all the details. RSVP beginning on Saturday.
As things gain momentum be sure to check back here often and keep up-to-date!

Hello first time viewers!
I know you're all first-timers because I've only had this site up and running for a few days. :)
Today, I had the opportunity to share with a number of my relatives about this opportunity to serve in Africa for a year. It was very encouraging! A few of my relatives have been in Africa doing missions in the past. (Kendra, Uncle Andrew... if there are others let me know because I'd love to talk to you!) It was really awesome how receptive and encouraging my relations were. Thanks guys!
