Well I was beginning to get nervous about my support coming in but with prayer and patience God has truly provided this past week. I received a large about of money from my church and had calls/texts from people saying they have money for me> Praise God!!
I also had the lemonade stand that seemed silly at first but with help from my friends and trusting God it truly allowed others to support me. My friends made the lemonade as I set up the stand around 8am and my sister Kimberly made us some delicious cupcakes to sell as well. Through this God gave me the opportunity tell complete strangers about what I was doing and why I was doing it, it was awesome. With this being said, all of my support is coming in fast and I thank everyone and God for that!
As for it being 2 weeks before I leave, I am getting nervous. I know it is only Chicago and its not like I am even going over seas (which I still want to do) but I know it will be culture shock. I have never been to a big city much less stayed in one, and I have never been away from my family for 10 weeks straight. I know that this will be a huge experience and I am looking forward to what God has planned for me and how he will open my eyes to a new world of experiences. People call it a "spritual greenhouse" and I can only pray that it what it is for me as I mature in my relationship with God. For all I know, I will love the city and will not want to leave. As for now, please pray that God prepares my heart, and Especially my mom's, for my leaving.
Talk to you soon
