"This is going to be so good for you."

"This is going to be so good for you."
This seems to be the resounding theme for this trip and the most feedback I have been getting. I am not sure what it means? Maybe I need that much help that only a 3rd world country could help a girl out... Fine by me. :)

On another even more positive note!!! The total of raised money is now in the $4,000's!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippie!!! Thank you so much !!!! All the money will be placed in a savings account, then I will be allotted $500 a month from a checking account. All money NOT used will be given to the Haiti Medical Mission. So no matter what everyone wins. Especially me, because "This is going to be so good for me."

Love yall

"I decided to live my life on my terms. I wasn't going to live it by default, by the permission of others, or according to someone else's idea of what my life should look like. To do so would have made my life a prison, trapped in the cell of someone else's image of what my life should be. Living by your leave."
- Tony Ludlow

Since I have last posted things have continued to move in an amazing straight line, moving me closer to Haiti!!
The Run the Trails Run made an amazing $3,000!!! People really want to get rid of me...  So I will continue to plan and prepare. Please continue to pray for me and my family.
Thanks

the details...

For a big picture girl these details are hard to do...
But with the help of wonderful family and great friends we are checking them off the list. Well we are checking them off the 2nd list, because I lost the first one :)

Thursday was the best!! Breakaway, runners, drinkers, non drinkers, and non runners all came to out to support! The effort raised close to $600 !! Off of one keg and a cookie cake. I follow a great God.

Stay tuned as we continue to hammer out these details.
