braggin.

can i just brag a little bit about my God?

ok, cool.  cause i'm gonna anyway :).

let me just start by saying that the other night, hearing about elizabeth's trip was so bitter sweet.

i am so discouraged for her and yet so blessed.

what i was worried about with her trip ended up happening.

i had prayed so much about this haiti thing, and when i acted with what i though the Lord wanted me to do {regardless of knowing she would have been, and was, hurt with the decision of not choosing her trip} He totally blessed that decision.

and the real bragging comes here.

i had $600 that needed to be put in the mail TODAY.

as of thursday i only had $375.

guess how much came in the stinking mail on FRIDAY alone?!

$200.  making me only $25 shy of my first deadline.

like, OK, He is just showing off that He is so beyond and bigger than any amount of money.

i'm gonna go ahead and give God all the glory for that one.

it was also another reassuring thing regarding this trip.

and tonight i get a txt from my mom saying this:

'our neighbor amy has a senior college boy renting her house from tennessee.  just arrived.  super polite. coming over to andrew's soon.  working at owens corning this summer.  maybe he is christian since he is from bible belt??'

only my mother.

who then proceeded to talk.his.ear.off all night.

she means to be friendly, but i'm sure he's a bit overwhelmed.

and i'm sure he didn't absorb about 99.999% of the things she said LOL.

love that woman!
