Happy 3-day weekend! I'm proud to say that I too have a 3-day one!
I must say that support-raising for missions is an emotional rollercoaster. Some days I feel like there's nothing more to be done, I give up. Other days it's more like I'm getting really close to being ready to leave. It guess it depends a lot on my attitude. Is it half empty or half full? Today is a half full day. I was encouraged by talking with two wonderful ladies yesterday about more support-raising options. I just needed some fresh ideas. So there IS more that can be done, and I am excited to see what other weird ways God uses to help me out! One of those weird ways is sitting in my driveway right now..... in fact, I am in the process of teaching myself to drive it. My mom was in the car with me when I first tried to drive it, and she FREAKED out. I've driven a stick before, but not for like a year, and I don't drive very well. So today, I took the bug out and drove it down Sunnyside to Delany and back twice. I did that because I could use all 4 gears, not have to battle much traffic, and not have to stop on a hill. hahaha! I'm getting to the point where I'm almost street-worthy, I hope to be able to drive it to work soon. It's the driving home at noon through downtown that makes me nervous.
So then, I got this email from Franklin today saying that their family is waiting for me to come the end of July to stay with them and go to camp. What is that all about? I WANT to go, but I didn't tell them that I'd be ABLE to go. So now, since that's only about the 5th email I've gotten like that, I really want to go. But it seems like a waste of money. I mean, not to me, but to just spend a bunch of money to "hang out for a week?!" I think I'm gonna have to postpone that 'till Christmas........ then maybe I can "hang out" for 2 or 3 weeks! It's nice to know that they love me and haven't forgotten me though!!
