Update on mouse
I think I found the hole they were getting in too, so I need to get my brother -"Mr. Fix-it" to some and well, help fix it! :-)
As for other matters, I am still raising support. It gets hard at times, and there seem to be few people to contact, or few people that are able or interested in giving, but God surprises me every week, and really helping me to trust that it is all in his hands and not my own. I am so thankful for all the people who are so encouraging, which is almost everyone I meet with. It amazes me when people praise what I am doing. I don't think it's all that big of a deal most of the time, just that I am following the lord's call on my life, but really when I think about it, it has taken some HUGE leaps of faith to get me here, and even now the lord continues to teach me new things every day.
So I just want to say thank you to all of you that the lord is using in my life to encourage me, and help me to trust God even more.
Daily I am reminded of God's faithfulness, and I can barely wrap my head around it most of the time. but as with many of the promises in the bible that God has given to his people, God has not fulfilled them over night, but has taught the people through the waiting period. and many times people had to wait decades (or centuries) for got to fulfill his promises. now I don't plan on raising support for decades or centuries, but it is a good reminder that it takes a few months. That if the Isrealites could wait a few years, surely I can wait a few months.
So I am still praying that I would have my support finished by the end of April. I am about halfway there, but like I said, God is moving in big ways, and I am finding more and more each day to be thankful for.
so thank YOU again and please pray with me that God would get me to MSU soon!!!

A house "guest"
yes.... the mouse chewed its way free.
So then I resorted to the more tradtional trap that snaps shut and will get your fingers if your not careful.
Well, after continuing to hear scratching, I bought another sticky trap and went to put it up there, and what did I see.... the mouse stuck in the trap !!!!! yay!!! and Major EW EW EW EW EW. now I needed to find someone to dispose of it for me.... well I had some offers, but they all fell through, and I knew this thing would start to smell if I didn't do something soon, so I used many pastic bas as gloves and threw it all away.
YAY!!!!! no more mouse..... or so I thought
the next night.... what do I hear??? more scratching.... it seems like Jerry had a friend up there. so I had to start the process all over again... what fun!
