I am just so grateful

Ok, so I'm a little blog happy lately. I've been at work the past few days, doing a 5 days spend the night stint with my favorite 3 year old so I've had a little more free time on my hand at night (I mean, he goes to bed at 8:30 or so.) Plus, a lot is happening since we're getting close to our departure date so there's been more to blog about :)

Although my personal fundraising goal has been fulfilled, the rest of my team is still working on being fully funded. God has continued to provide in such amazing ways. Offers of financial support continues to pour in for this journey and I am so encouraged. I just have to say how overwhelmed I am by the generosity of God's people (adding to the long list from a few blogs before; Ben & Christy Stark, Russ & Dinah Fitzgerald, Bill Watson, Leah Negrani).

I know everyone can relate to being thankful for such amazing generosity, however, I don't know if everyone can really understand how much this overwhelming support has touched me. All of you know that I literally live on the opposite side of the world from my parents and most of my family. Thus, it is the community of believers around me who has been my family in the most tangible way. Through each support, I feel like I've been embraced and affirmed in a way that makes the body of Christ, the family of God so real to me. This is God working through His people. This is a glimpse of His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.
