This whole fundraising thing is crazy. I know God is going to work it all out, but it is SO difficult waiting for it all to happen. Also, my parents don't want me buying the plane ticket until I have all my support. Plus, I can't apply for a visa for Brazil until I have my flight booked. I met with the missions pastor at church on wednesday and he told me the church can't support me because they only support missionaries who are planting churches. Needless to say, I've sort of had a few freaking out moments when I just can't handle it anymore. Moments of breaking into tears because I just don't know if I can do it. But it's the small things Jesus gives me that refresh me and keep me going.

The realization that I can't do it. But He can.

New financial supporters.

A lovely visit to my best friend in the freezing cold of Ellensburg.

Christmas music. It is not too early.

Laughing with my sisters until we can't breathe and start to cry.

Psalm 34.

A conversation about Haiti with a person who actually knows Haiti.

Soy Chai.

Wind storms and flickering lights.


Please let me know as soon as you can if you'd like to support me financially. I basically need to know by December 1. I'm $1,190 away from my goal right now and every little bit helps more that you could ever know. If you can only give $5 a month, great! I'd also love your prayers whenever you think of me. I need strength to get through this time and to trust in the Lord.
