From that little party, $357.00 was raised. My Leaders from Revolution informed me that night too, that Revolution would match what was raised. So grand total straight from God's hand in one night: $714.00. That brings total funds raised to $3634.00!!! How do I not believe at times?? I must be the Queen of fools to continue in my disbelief at times...
You know, God did the same thing last time too. A girl came twice to Revolution. The first night she was there, she heard the four of us talk about the trip. The second night she was there, she donated $1500 towards our fundraising efforts, really rocketing us forward, and giving us much hope to continue. It turned out that SHE had been to PNG to do Interface- how cool is that?? I have never seen her since. I had her phone number, but with time and moves it's disappeared... I do have her address, and did send a letter to her in recent months.
I've never seen or heard from her again.
But that's how God works. She was not meant to be in my life but for a few brief moments... But oh, how the memory of that experience continues on. God worked thru her in a great way in those moments.
And God has worked thru all of you, my current supporters too. Obviously, I needed to be re-shown how faithful He is though I am not.
Now, I am starting to feel homesick. Wait... What the... I'm not even gone yet! I have been sooooo looking forward to "The Exit", it's not even funny. Any given day, if you'd ask me where I'd rather be, I'd say, "in the airport at Port Moresby." Man, that place STINKS!!! But I can see it in my head, and that's where I'd want to be, and I'm going to be there on January 20th. I'd say I can't wait to put my cell phone away for 6 weeks, not worry about work stuff, house stuff, money stuff, guy stuff- for 6 weeks!!! I would say I can't freaking wait for the Big Disconnect from everyone and everything that's dear to me.
But NOW though, I have seen just how supportive my friends are, and the "I miss you" feelings are beginning to surface... Already I can't wait to be back, and the conflict of these 2 thoughts is weird...
