With only about 60 days left until I leave I must say that the past month has been a total whirlwind, and I am sure December and January will be the same! I am overwhelmed with the amount of love and support I have received from everyone. Slowly but surely I am raising the funds I need to make this happen. I still have a ways to go, but I am trusting that God will provide everything that I need. Yes, I have my control freak moments, but I have amazing people around me that are always there to remind me that I am not in control.. God is. Another fun little bit of news... I've connected with a facebook group for the trip and have gotten to chat with a girl just a few years older than me that lives in Australia! I am super excited about all the new people I am going to get to meet!
I spent last week surrounded by my amazing family up in NJ (and PA), and spent a couple of wonderful days in my favorite place... New York City! I was also able to visit Hillsong Church, which was incredible! Coming home from being gone for a week was a bit insane, but I am back on my feet and in full swing of working on emails, letters, flyers, tickets and many other things to make this fundraiser a success. This week and next are also my finals weeks, so please be praying for me! My fundraiser falls smack in the middle of all of my final exams and papers. I think God has given me some extra brain space the past few weeks, because I don't know how else I could be remembering all that I am! Haha and thank goodness for calendars and phone reminders! :)
Speaking of school, I must say that it is an incredibly weird feeling to not be signing up for Spring semester with all of my friends... But I am sooo excited for where I will be!
That being said, there is not much to update besides the constant busyness and "go! go! go!" chant in my head! I am a human pinball at the moment, but that is okay because in the end it will be worth every chaotic moment and overwhelming day spent preparing for this trip! I must say an huge thank you to Iley because without him the "concert" portion of my fundraiser would probably have fallen apart! So thank you for jumping in and saving it!
And to close... a verse I read today.
"Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:4-5
This is my prayer for everything that lies before me.
