Current Fundraisers For YWAM Training

Cookie Mix Fundraiser:


I am selling Chocolate Chip Cookie Mixes. 

They are $10 each and $5 for shipping (if not local). 


These cookie mixes will make 2 dozen delicious chocolate chip cookies. 


Leave a comment or message me if you are interested in purchasing one (or many) and I will get back to you about payment options. 

Amazon Fundraiser: 


A while back, I got approved to be an Amazon Associate! That means: I will get a portion of the proceeds from whatever you by on Amazon.com. BUT the only way it will work is if you GO THROUGH MY BLOG!


SO, I just added an Amazon.com search bar on the right side of my blog. (With the title "Support my through your purchases"). 
All you have to do is: put in whatever you are searching for and that will take you to Amazon.com. Then you just go on with your shopping as usual! It's that simple! It's only one extra step to help me out! Plus, it doesn't cost you anything extra! (Don't worry it's not going to tell me show my what you purchased or anything like that). :)


Please share my blog link with your friends and family so they can participate as well! Especially anyone you know who shops on Amazon a lot!










Stay tuned for more Fundraisers coming soon! 


7 weeks before I head to Wisconsin! I can't believe how fast time is flying by! I have a lot of work to do before then! 




If you would like to make a donation towards my YWAM training please use the "Donate" button at the top of my blog. 


I am still in need of about $5,000 before December! I will only have to have my tuition cost ($3,350) by September 16th. But of course, I need to try to raise as much as possible by then so that I will have enough funds for Outreach (overseas). 


Thanks so much friends!! 

2 Month Countdown!!

I Just bought my plane ticket to 

Milwaukee, Wisconsin! 

In exactly two months from today I will be sitting in an airplane bound for Wisconsin! 

I will be leaving my whole life behind to follow God's leading, 

there is nothing more exciting (and hard)! 

Over North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland (to change planes)...

 then West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and finally landing in Milwaukee! 

All in only 5 short hours! 

(Yes...flying still amazes me!)

I am so thankful that I get to spend the weekend with this precious boy...

William

And his incredible family...

before they take me to Madison

 to begin my YWAM Training! 

Thank you Bridget (and family) for your willingness to open your home to me and bring me to Madison! You are such a blessing to me!

So, It's official now, no turning back! 

YWAM, Madison here I come!

And no matter how scary, or uncertain that may make me feel, I know it's what I'm supposed to do!

I know it is going to be the most amazing experience in my life (so far)! I cannot wait to "Know God and make Him Known"! 

And the people from all over the world I will have the privilege to serve with and learn with are going to be such an amazing blessing to me! We are going to have some incredible stories of how God brought us together, how He provided for each and every one of us, and How faithful He has been to us! I just know it! 

62 days till take off!!

And in case you are wondering, yes, I do still have a lot of money to raise before then! Check my sidebar for the amount needed. 

If you would like to give, please message me or go through paypal by pressing the "donate" button at the top of this blog.

Thank you!!

What God is teaching me...

So, this past week God was called me to make a really big financial sacrifice from the money I was saving for YWAM. Even though I wrestled with it for a week and kept saying "I can't do that!" He made sure it didn't leave my mind. 


I couldn't rest until I had done it. 


I had to obey. 


It felt so great to finally do it and let go of the money I had worked so hard for. It wasn't my money in the first place, God had given it to me. 


So now it was my turn to give it all back to Him. I have no doubt that He will bless me more now that I have followed through. He has already begun to bless me through it by bringing me closer to Him and speaking to me even through my unfaithfulness in spending time with Him.  


I am so excited to see how it will happen. No, it may not be easy, comfortable, or simple, but I know it will all be for His glory, not mine. God is amazing and I am so thankful He chose me of all people to go along on this journey into missions. Now I have only a little more than 1/7th of what I need for my 6 months in YWAM, and I leave in only 76 days! So, I need to raise $5,500. 


But I am not even going to focus on the numbers. I think that was what I was doing wrong before I gave it all away! I feel like I was getting some of the glory for the money that I had raised before, since I was so proud of the amount I was able to save. Now God wants all the glory! Maybe it will be that He want's me to completely rely on other people's donations? Or from fundraisers? I don't know, but I am excited to find out.


God all I want is for you to bring my closer to you through all of this!
