So recently it has definitely been a struggle between the desire to give up- quit my job, abandon the DTS, stop going anywhere, and just stay home and sleep... Fortunately, the song "It's gonna be worth it" has been going through my head, too. : ) Seriously though, it has been very tough to stick to what I believe God has led me to do and confirmed it when there are people around telling me not to do it because I haven't raised all my money yet. *Grin* that old saying, "if you don't have anything good to say, then don't say anything at all," definitely applies :)
God has been good to me, though. I know He keeps me in the palm of His hand at all times. Right now I am so thankful that He has a hope and a future for me- beyond what I can see now. Thank you Jesus!!
More general news...
Financial status:
raised: $1,797
still needed: $4,059
:) Thank you so much to all of you who have faithfully prayed for and finanically supported me. It is so encouraging when someone sends me a check for even $10, because I know it is from their heart and accompanying lots of prayer. Thank you all. I am praying for you, too!

Update
Well, as of a few days ago, I have raised over $800... not including my own money... if you add that all up, I have a total of $1,242.91!!! Thank you Jesus! I sent out my support letters, and am planning a car wash and garage sale, so hopefully I will get most of my money in soon!!
I think my plane ticket was purchased yesterday! Hooray! I fly out of Portland, OR on the 19th and arrive in London on the 20th. I'm still planning on staying with my soon-to-be-brother-in-law's-brother Solomon. I'm really excited about getting to know a piece of my new family!
Prayer Requests:
Please pray for my family (especially my mom) we are having a bit of a crisis period right now.
That the garage sale/car wash/possible and possibly a 2-man play fundraisers all go smoothly and the planning is easy.
The company I work for is dissolving the last day of August. I was hoping to finish before that so that I would have lots of time to prepare for my trip, but this is the way it worked out. Please pray that two weeks (about) will be enough for me to prepare.
All and any prayers are GREATLY appreciated! Thank you so much for all your support!
