T-Minus 7 days

Okay so obviously from the title of this post, I am ONE week away from summer project. There are a lot of emotions running through my head at this point, but mainly this one:

sheer excitement. 

Time is flying, and I am seriously trying to make the most of this last week in North Carolina. I have lunch dates with friends planned for the rest of this week as well as little hang outs here and there to catch last minute hugs and farewells. 

Support

I wanted to update you guys on how support is coming along. This whole process has been overwhelming with how gracious and good the Lord is in providing the funds through faithful supporters. I have been so humbled to see others give so generously toward this trip. I had about 3/4 of my money raised as of last weekend. This past Sunday night, my church back home did a special fundraiser to support my trip and raised above the total cost of the trip!! Can you imagine how overwhelmingly excited I was? I couldn't believe how wonderful and sweet every person was that contributed from my church back home. I can do nothing but thank my God for his promises. Raising support has definitely taught me to not worry, but trust that God will provide. I am so grateful for every person that has given financially in support towards this opportunity I have to spread the gospel.  To God be the Glory!

Preparation

As far as packing goes, that has not started yet. I detest packing about as much as I hate washing dishes or eating broccoli. Hopefully I can start on it the latter part of this week so I am not stuck cramming everything in the night before I leave. 

Prayer Requests

There are about 10 or so students that will be leaving Wednesday to fly up early and clean the Peter Pan Motel and prepare it for the rest of us students when we come next Monday. Join me in praying for them as they are going to be travelling  from various states, that the flights go as scheduled and they arrive safely. So thankful to be spending the summer with those that have a heart to serve the rest of us students!  

Well, one more week before this motel becomes my home for 10 weeks :) :

WOOP WOOP!!
