A Small Step of Faith...

Well, in 42 days I leave! This is blowing my mind right now!!!! But the wierd thing that I need faith in isn't for safety while traveling, or for the money to come in, or even for the time in South Africa. But no, me being the person I am (the person who worries about the dumbest and smallest things, but not the big things) is worrying about a car wash and a bake sale. So here's the reasoning behind it.

Last year I attempted to do a car wash. The first date I scheduled, I for some reason couldn't do it that day (maybe I had to work and couldn't get the day off? Very high possibility!) so I rescheduled it. The next scheduled date came and it was freezing, raining, sleeting and all sorts of nasty things, so again I rescheduled. Finally, the day came and the car wash was now going to actually happen. I didn't have a ton of help (my parents and one friend), but it turned out to be ok. See a total of like maybe 10 cars were washed, about 3 were cars of the people helping out, then like 2 or 3 more from people I knew and then like 2 others. So ok, I guess that makes 8, but you get the point. That day was also cold and rainy. My friend and I ended up sitting on the corner, sort of hiding behind our signs. So, I'm a tad worried that this car wash will be a repeat.

My reason to be worried about a bake sale? Well, when people have a bake sale outside of Walmart, I never stop, soooooo......(you get my point?).

BUT!!!! I know that my God will be faithful! I just need to stop freaking out! Easier said then done. So if you think of, please pray for me! My car wash is next Saturday (May 7) and the bake sale is on May 21. Pray for good weather and TONS of people to come.

But here's an quick update on my summer prep:
* I have about $650 left to raise.
* I have found my travel insurance and now just have to purchase it. It ended up being $20 less than I thought! (HOORAY!)
* I have been googleing airports like CRAZY! and am feeling more and more confident about getting around in said airports.
* Jesus is definitely prepping me! Every time anyone even makes the slightest hint of summer, I have a little giggle fit. Not even kidding!

So there are my updates! Your prayers mean SO much to me, so THANK YOU!!! If you would like to make a donation to my trip, check out the little box to the right! I added a PayPal account so now you can donate online, easily!
