Well I leave for Colombia in 3 days... Super excited but super busy!
I had to slow down and enjoy today though! So I painted my bathroom and cleaned my room and then went to church and hung out with friends afterwards.
I am moving to Tyler this summer and im working as the summer College Intern for Green Acres Baptist Church. So as soon as I get back from Colombia im packing up and moving out! Yesterday I went to Tyler to get paperwork taken care of and visit with some friends :)
Tomorrow A family friend wants to help me out with my trip by taking me to REI and buying me a hiking suitcase and a sleeping bag!! Such a blessing and im so excited! Its been so neat seeing God work things out while im preparing for this trip..
TRUE STORY!
About two weeks ago at work ( family christian bookstore) a man walked in and needed help with picking out some bibles I was busy so he said he would wait for me. After a few minutes I walked over and helped him.. he bought almost every bible I brough him..His exact words were you cant go fishing without the BAIT! he was on a mission to introduce Christ, save souls and put as many bibles in the hands of new belivers as he could! But.. not just any bibles.. he bought the nicest leather study bibles our store carried.. He was such a nice man and I didnt mind helping him, he then proceeded to hand me $50 and tell me he didnt want it back! I was in complete shock all morning I had been thinking about my Colombia trip and how I needed to raise all the money quickly.. $50 was an answer to prayer! He told me I better use it and buy something nice for myself.. I said OH I am! its going straight to my mission trip funds! He paused for a moment and said... No. I want you to use that for yourself... When I come back im gonna give you $100.00 for your trip! I was completly floored! I couldnt believe it or say anything.. He left about $600.00 worth of bibles he had bought with me to ingrave and came back about an hour and a half later. When he came back he asked what the organization was called I was going with and he wrote me a
check FOR $200.00 and got his bibles and left!
God is so good! I learned a lesson that day and I am so thankful for God putting Mr. John Reeves in my life that day! The Lord knew my anxious thoughts, and he used Mr. Reeves to remind me that God is my provider and He cares and He loves me and He wants the best for me.
I leave sunday!
Please be praying for the four of us going.. and the hundred children we will be teaching english too!
His will be DONE!!!
