Thank you supporters, encouragers, and believers!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me on this journey!  I have a BIG announcement to make!  As of today, I have raised all of the funds needed for my mission trip!  Let me re-phrase that...
My mission trip is paid for!!!!!  THANK YOU to all who have made this possible!  I was just about in tears today as I realized that I have met my goal!  And I met it so much quicker than expected!  My garage is full right now with donations for my garage sale this weekend!  The money raised this weekend will put me over the top, and be donated to the Village of Hope.
I just can't believe it!
Thank you to all of you!  Thank you for your prayers, and for joining me on this journey!
Only 140 days left until I leave!
That's 4 months, 2 weeks, 4 days, 16 hours, and 6 minutes until I take off on this adventure!
I'm now at the point where I am getting scared, but really excited!  I met with a woman a few weeks ago who lives in a different part of Uganda and runs an orphanage there.  She told me stories, stories that mostly got me excited.  Then some stories that put fear in my heart (stories of snakes and GIANT spiders!).
But I know that God will protect me!  I just keep praying that I am living in His will, and following what He wants for me.  It's a scary thing, and I don't know what's ahead, but He has gotten me this far, so I will keep going!  I can't wait to see what the future holds!
