Thank you uncle dave!!!!

Went into the Thailand meeting today not really knowing what to expect & a little skeptical of my finances.... came to find the best surprise ever when i got my fund sheet!!! I had a $2,000 check sent in from my uncle dave!!! Words can't even describe how grateful I am, without that check I would've pulled out from the trip tonight.. thank you sooo much uncle dave! & thanks so much to all those who donated!!! love you all & couldn't have done it without you guys.

To the desperate eyes & the reaching hands
To the suffering & the lean
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be
I will go Lord send me

To the world
To the lost
To the poor & the hungry
Take everything I am
Clay within your hands
I will go

Let me not be blind with privilege
Give me eyes to seek the pain
Let the blessing you've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain
Let this life be used for change

I wanna live for you
Go where you lead me
I wanna follow you

Send me!

45 days!!!


Thailand Team 2008! Well, not the whole team. There are a few missing (about 8) who don't go to my church...

45 days is SOOOOOO soon! seriously! I cant even start to wrap my head around how quickly this is coming up. I still REALLLLLY need to get my shots. I did get my flu shot (I cheated though & got the nasal kind).. but i have like a million more to get! I get more anxious as it gets closer... this time in one month i'll almost be done with finals (oh wow! i just realized the semester is almost over!) & i'll be spending the last 10 days getting ready. 

I can't even express how excited I am to go. I wish I had more to say, I'll probably update after the meeting on Wednesday when I know a little bit more about our current situation. Here are some prayer requests though...

1. Finances! Not only for myself but for all the team members.
2. Finances for the medical clinic. Its a $20,000 project, we have $7,000 raised. (But God will provide that... after all He is rich!)
3.  Our hearts to be in the right place, that everything we do will be Christ-centered, for us to be bright lights in a place of darkness.. so bright that even the thickest blanket could've keep the place dark.. 

Thank you all for your constant support. I love you.
