Tonight it really started to hit me that we only have about 2 weeks until training camp. Of course I've known that September 12th was the day and I've been saying that date all summer but I just can't believe it's so close. I must admit, I'm a crazy mix of emotions right now. I'm really nervous, excited, scared, ready, stressed etc. As the reality has set in, so has my anxiety about packing and making sure I have everything together. I've also started to realize just how blessed I am to have so many supporters.  It's crazy for me to think about all the people that have been praying and caring and giving through this entire process and the trip hasn't even started yet! Support raising is still happening but I'm definitely getting there. My amazing friends at Wittenberg showered me with dimes for my DIME COLLECTION:) We also found out that we need to raise an additional $800 to travel to Kenya for a week during the first part of the trip. I'm not sure if that's where God wants me for the second part of the trip but I would love to be able to visit Kibera again (I was able to go for a few days when I was in Kenya last summer). I know God will provide that extra $800 if He wants me to go to Kibera. I'm continually reminding myself that God has gone before me and paved the way for this entire thing. That's comforting. And so is this verse..."Surely goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever." -Psalm 23:6
