gas pumping/yard sale fundraisers.

wow. where do i even begin? 

the most obvious place would be addressing the amount of money i've raised recently, but i'd rather address all of the people who have helped me in that task. the following are the names of the ladies who stepped-up to help serve God in these fundraising efforts: 

sheri, anna, melissa, karen, jenny, elizabeth, katie, lexi, karen, katie kozol, mallory, kim, heather, erika, jaclyn, katie kindler, kate sunken, katie bruto, kaylee s., kaylee j., lisa, michele, denise, sarah jeter, andrea goss, drea richardson, brandy, haley, and any others that i'm unfortunately forgetting right now. 

thank you for being the kind of women who are so willing to help your sisters in Christ. you are so selfless for giving up your afternoons to receive nothing in return. i know God is so pleased with His good and faithful servants. 

also, a big THANK YOU to those of you who donated clothing, shoes, and home decor to the yard sale--it was such a success, and we even have left-over clothes (name brand) that we are selling to "play-to's closet"; the rest, we plan to donate to the thrift store here in town. 

now is the time to address monetary information:

with the yard sale and  2 gas pumping fundraisers we did, we raised a total of $1280. this means melissa and i each got approximately $640---amazing!

seriously, i'm in awe of how God provides for us when we have no expectations, and don't limit His abilities.

eternally grateful,

suzy

an adventure begins.

isn't this little fella cute??

as many of you know, i am headed off to mozambique, africa in 70 some odd days. i can't help but begin to think about what i will get to see, do, and embark on. 

i've never been on an international flight. 

or had to sleep under a mosquito net. 

anyone care to teach me portugese or zulu? 

this is an immense challenge for me, simply learning to trust in the Only One worthy of our hearts.  but Jesus is going to do big things, i can feel it.

please continue to keep this journey in your thoughts and prayers. i have never been told i have to raise $3500 in two months, but to tell you the truth, i'm somewhat excited. excited to watch it happen, and excited to prove people wrong. especially myself. 

look to this blog for fairly frequent updates of the before, during, and afters of my trip to mozambique and where i stand financially.
