Well I am currently sitting in the center of the Charlotte airport, on my way to RUF Staff Training! I can't wait to see all everybody again from June and meet all the other folks that make RUF tick. It has been the craziest summer ever with so much traveling via planes, trains and automobiles (literally!!) that I didn't even have time to freak out more than once ... ok maybe twice haha. While it has been a busy summer it has also been incredibly rewarding in so many ways! I would never have thought that raising support could teach you so much! I have grown so much in my faith and trust in Christ as well as my own personal confidence and assurance that I am doing exactly what God wants me to do. It has been immensely comforting to see people rally behind me and it has taught me a lot about what christian community means and how amazing it is to be a part of it!! I can't even express the joy and excitement I have gotten out of seeing all of the financial support just over the past week come in.
I now have 25,000 dollars in my account and am clear to move down to my campus. I still have another 7,000 dollars to raise by February but am confident that the God will provide. My schedule from here on out is pretty hectic, I am on my way to staff training in Atlanta, GA. I will be there through the 31st of July. From there I fly to Toronto, ONT on August 1st and with be there with my future-in-laws through the 9th. I will be busing home to Akron, OH on the 9th and will pick up the moving truck and start the trek down to Jackson, MS with the help of two of my good friends, Josh Putnam and Ryan Wells. So its going to be a crazy next couple of weeks but I am really looking forward to what I will learn and the experiences I will have. Thank you all for your support through prayers and finances and I can't wait to update you when I get down to Jackson.
