only two days until the land of oz....

My room is a mess. There are clothes everywhere and I'm still trying to unpack from college. My stress level has reached an all time high- but in the midst of this chaos God remains faithful, with answered prayers of hope! Just two days ago I needed $2300 for Australia, and now that has (MIRACULOUSLY through GOD!!!) Been reduced to $1470. Crazy. So crazy. I love watching God work. He probably thinks it's funny that I'm so surprised every time he slaps some more money out on the table. Mmm:)Thanks everyone for the prayers- keep em' coming! 

Off the topic of Australia, I've been realizing lately how gosh darn blessed I am to have the people around me that I do. The last few days have been soaked in great friendships that haven't been sparked since being away in college for so longggg. I got to spend the entire day with my sister the other day- I love her so much! I'm going to be sad to leave all this behind for 6 weeks, but it can NOT compare to what God has in store...

ahhH! I'm so pumped. Everyone, just so you know...God is not dull. He's fun. He likes to keep us on our toes and you never know what he's going to pull out of his sleeve. One thing I've learned this year, don't put God in a box. (haha SARAH:) No sirreeee. He'll jump out and pull mysterious situations and answers out of thin air.

Two days left in the states... I'm getting excited....mmmm airplane food and sleeping over night in a reclining a chair;)
