Update on mouse

well actually it ended up being mice... I have caught and thrown away 5 mice now.... ugh! well my brother helped with one. but hopefully they are almost all gone.

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!!!
