growing anticipation

December 12, 2011

As we continue through the Christmas season, I am constantly being reminded of how soon I am leaving for this trip.  It is going to be a very exciting time and I can not wait to see how God uses me and how He helps me grow while being away for so long.  This is going to be longest I have been away, on my own, from my family, but I am very excited.  I greatly appreciate the prayers and generous donations.

reality hits

December 3, 2011
This week the reality that I am leaving my friends and family for 5 months really hit me.  I am doing all I can to spend as much time with my friends and family before I leave, and make sure they know that I love them.  As the money comes in and the payments are made, my friends, family and I are getting more and more excited for the adventure ahead.  We are now over the $5000 marker in fundraising.  That is a huge blessing and a lot of people have shown their generosity.  As part of the prep...

seven thousand five hundred steps

November 19, 2011
Today my Dad and I did more steps than we have ever done.  We went up and down seven and a half times for a total of 7500 steps.  It was easier than we thought it would be.  Strange that the first couple of times up seem to be the hardest.  Then, we get into a groove and it goes easier.  The bottom third of each time up is pretty easy because we've had a break coming down.  We were planning on doing 7000 steps today, but we thought if we did 250 more (up and down), then we would have done thr...
