A few weeks ago, around the same time as the last post, I booked my flights to the Philippines!  It's pretty exciting to have something that has just been a theory and idea come to life with the purchase of plane tickets.  I leave August 1st and return late August 22nd.  Now stuff gets real.

As this is the largest portion of my budget and the biggest expense of my trip, I am beginning to become more intentional in gathering support.  This Sunday (May 25th), I will be given a short time to share with my church about why I'm going and what I will be doing in the Philippines.  If you would like more information about this, please comment or use the contact me page and I will gladly share more with you.  If you would like to support me financially, go to the donate page for more information.  If you can't, that is 100% great, I would love and appreciate much support in prayer.  This is a journey that I feel God has called me to to open my eyes to more of what He has in store for me in my future and it's a bit scary.  Please pray that I go with an open heart and mind to be moved by God's Spirit and to feel His guiding hand in my life.  Also, for safe travels and health while I am there.  Much thanks to all who read these posts and are supporting me in various ways.  You all are a large part of why I am able to embark on adventures like this and experience more of God through them.
