God has taught me a lot already just through the whole process of getting ready for the trip! Fundrasing and planning has been a very stressful process for all of us. But even through the all the stress and worry God always gives us these vital moments that shows us His glory and reasures us that everything will work out. In a moment when we were really struggling with fundraising, we had a woman come and hand us a check for $500! When we thought only about 20 people singed up to come to our tea party fundraiser, almost all the seats were filled and it was such a success! God is amazing and has taught me that he is bigger than all of this and in my time of stress and worry I need to lean on him and know that he will take care of me. This was a very important lesson for me to learn before I leave because this summer I am going to be stretched and challenged to my limit and without him and His glory there would have been no way I would of have been able to do this on my own.
"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."- Isaiah 41:10
