1,700

Life is good.. :) And really busy! Today's the first day that I've had in awhile where I purposefully didn't have anything going on after church! SO, I've been enjoying doing some 'nothing' stuff before the next wave of insanity hits.

9 days from now, a team of 39 people from a University in Missouri will descend upon the lovely city of Amsterdam for 13 days. One of them happens to be one of my Uncle's- Roger, if you care to know- he and some others are bringing 2 groups of singers/musicians to help our choir out and do several other events that we have scheduled. It's a TON of work to have a mission's team come over, but it is more rewarding and fulfilling than I could ever express. Yay- I can't wait!!!

People ask me how things are all the time.. this trip has been one of the best times in my life- it's amazing what being in the right place will do for ya :)

I checked out my finances, and found out that I am about $1,700 (€1,285) short to stay here until June 1st- and I need that by May 9th! I'll be honest- I had a couple moments of "what am I going to do??".. but they were very quick moments, and I recovered. I truly believe that God hasn't forgotten that I'm here (indeed!), and that He will provide for me somehow. That's not meant to be a show of "amazing faith" or a desperate cry for help either. It's reality, and it's how I think God wants me to live- knowing the actuality or veracity of a situation, but believing in His faithfulness and Love to overcome any obstacle that presents itself. Some obstacles are smaller, some are bigger. Regardless of the 'mountain' or 'valley', God doesn't change, and neither does His ability to take care of those He loves.. namely, all of us. :)

So, that's the short version of what's what. Feel free to email or comment with anything at all, I really do appreciate it and enjoy sharing what I am doing here!
