Answered prayers!

So... in the last two days there has been some major prayers answered that I have to share with all of you. After I wrote my last post I got an email telling me that I was receiving $5000 from a church that I went to in high school! :) You have to understand that when you are trying to raise $15000 in three to four months life can get a little stressful. But the amazing thing is, when your life is in the Lord's hands he provides in every way possible. But you also have to realize that he provides in His timing and not yours. It is amazing because every time I start to stress or freak out about not having any money the Lord sends someone in my life that randomly decides to give me $1000! Talk about a blessing! I have also been trying to figure out where Shelby and I are going to live for the next 9 months. I have emailed about 15 people in SA about their apartment and no one has written back. BUT yesterday I got an email from a man I have been working with that works for Living Hope, the organization I am working for, and he told me of two places that could be a possibility. So after a few hours of oohing and aahing with Shelby over a beautiful place to live we now have a place to live! Exciting! And get this, it is a 2 minute walk from the beach! YAY! That's right, be jealous! :) So, now I have a place to live and I have been blessed with receiving $9000 from the Lord. I would like to ask you for some help! I ask you to pray and ask God if he wants you to support me in my mission to South Africa. I know without a doubt that the Lord is going to provide but he might want to use you to do that. I ask you to pray and ask him! Every little bit helps! Yes, I ask for you to consider donating but I know that not everyone can give so I truly ask you to keep this in your prayers. If I have learned anything in this last year and through this journey is that prayer is extremely important and is life changing. I ask you keep my trip and funding in your prayers! The information to donate is on the right side under "Every bits counts". Thanks!
