An amazing thing has happened. My roller coaster life took another turn but for the better. My Mother who was living in Florida and breaking my heart because I missed her so much so now back in Pennsylvania! It’s still 2 hours away from me in Baltimore but I can deal with 2 hours, I couldn’t
handle the 19+ it was before. She just got an apartment in my old home town, which is very interesting because now my Dad(real Dad) and my Mom live only one block from each other and they haven’t spoken in 21 years…talk about your family reunion. But enough of that.
This picture was taken when I was 8 years old the day my Mother and Step-Dad got married. It’s very 90’s! Check out my puffy sleves and gold necklace…I was rocking it!
Support – It’s going alright, slowly but surely. I had a table at the church yard sale that someone felt God calling them to help me with so that was great! I made around $100, so that was cool.
Also, the Mary-Kay fundraiser went well and I have a few more ladies that said before they would buy something so I’m going to try to check back with them and then end that fundraiser. Thanks Adelle!
I am going to try to get the church number for fundraisers and order some boxes of candybars and I have some people lined up to help me sell them. (I love my people)
My letters have been out for a few weeks now and I’ve started getting responses. Thank you to all those that have helped me. I have had 5 responses totaling $570 now in my account just from letters. Your thank you cards were put in the mail the other day so you should be getting them soon. I really do appreciate you soooooo much!
I’m starting to feel like this goal is actually going to be attainable, with the money in my account, the fundraisers in the mix, and the money I save every week, it really is all going to pull together and make it. Not that I was doubting it but sometimes it just doesn’t seem like this whole Africa thing is really happening and then I get reminded and it’s like “WOW!” Isn’t Jesus grand?
‘Tis awesome to hear of God’s continuing faithfulness in your life, family and support raising. I will continue to lift you up in prayer. God bless you.
