Support and God moments

It has only been five days since I flew back to Los Angeles from Texas and it that short amount of time I feel as though my life as been on a roller coaster. No, it isn't necessarily bad... just unexpected.

Support for my mission trip this summer has started to come in! :) Slowly but surely. For awhile I felt as though I wasn't meant to be on the team going to Japan. I hadn't received any support. But then I got an email and a call telling me that support was on the way. Praise the Lord! I still feel overwhelmed with the amount I still need to raise... but at least there is a start! While I was on the plane home I sat next to this great guy. He is looking to be a youth pastor and was visiting the church that I was visiting as well... small world? I don't think so! God is so good and has such great plans! (The key is letting Him be in control!) Anyways... as we left the plane the young man handed me a hundred dollar bill to be used for my trip for Japan!!! Can you believe that? I was speechless! Wow! It was the first support I had received, truly received! God works in ways you never even imagine and for that as well as many other reasons I am so thankful! Thank you to everyone who continues to support my summer project. I still have a lot to go but I know that if I am meant to be there than God will continue to provide the means.

I feel as though I have been on an emotional roller coaster. I don't really want to say goodbye to Carlsbad and yet at the same time I am excited to be moving to Texas. There were people and things still in California that I thought I was no longer attached to... but I am finding out that I still am - at least a small part of my heart is. Moving kinda sucks and then it doesn't... what ride!
