Revealing the Father's Heart

I had my first conference call with my team yesterday to get some of the details about my trip! The whole things still seems totally unreal to me.

So anyways, here are a few updates as to what is going on in my life right now; the good, the bad and the rocky.  God is showing me that I can truly depend on him to provide for my needs. I know in my head that He will provide but it is different actually seeing it happen. I only need $1500 more to reach my goal! I am beginning to realize that if God tells you to do something he will help make sure that it happens! I am reminded ...
