Can't Sleep

It is 2:00am. Why am I not asleep? I am lying in my bed, trying to take my mind off of everything I have to do in the next few weeks... doctors appointments, packing, saying goodbyes, etc. It is an overwhelming mix of emotions.

I just got back from camp late Sunday evening. Once again I was reminded that God works in mysterious ways... ways that I cannot even begin to understand. I left Crossville, TN with a support system that is beyond words. People that I have known for years, and people I had just met, were all so encouraging. I have realized over the last few months that asking for help is not always easy. I was amazed at the response I got when I finally said the words "I cannot do this alone. I need your help." People were stopping me left and right, wanting to know what they could do to support me. Since I got back I have received many emails and facebook messages from people that want to be involved in my journey. Jesus makes it very clear that we are to be fully dependent on God, and work interdependently with one another. I am learning this in an incredible way. 

Many of you are asking how you can help. To be honest, right now Holly and I are both in the middle of raising support. With the economy the way it is, it is hard to ask for money or to even think that people have the resources to give. I still don't know where all of the money is going to come from, but I am faithful. 

I would like to ask you all to please pray for Holly and I as we prepare for this 10 month journey together. Pray that we will be open to all that God has in store for us. Pray that the financial resources will be there, and that we will have all the materials needed to fulfill this position.

If you would like to help me or Holly by giving a financial contribution to our ministry, please see the below information:
