Thus far

In February, when I was first accepted into Surfing the Nations, I realized that I would have to send out support letters to help with everything. Never having to send out a support letter before I was terrified. I wanted to make sure that my letter was clear and concise and let everyone know exactly what I was doing. I didn't want to trick people into supporting me or something. I had actually never even gotten a support letter from anyone so I started researching and looking at how other people had written theirs. I wanted mine to be genuine and honest. It took me about a month and a half to sit down and actually write it, just as a side note it is so incredibly obvious to me that I did not write that letter because I am a terrible writer and it came out so well God totally prepared me and wrote that letter for me Go God!, but in that time of researching God did a lot of work on my heart. I was so afraid to send these out to real living breathing people. I didn't like asking people for money. It was like who am I to ask them for anything? God really showed me that there was no need to be afraid. Scripture says it. If you do not ask you will not receive. How will people know you need their support if you don't ask for it? Christian or non people love helping people who are helping people. Aside from the fact that we are the body and to better His kingdom we do it together. I fully believe that God will provide exactly the funds I need. I was so freaked out in Feb that I needed to save all this money and that I needed to take this really boring job even though I could have other jobs I actually enjoyed just so that I could have enough money to do this but now I realize that I didn't need to take that job because God has been saving for me. I mean hello God has been saving for me since he knew me. He knew that I was going to do this way before I knew. Where God leads he proceeds and where He guides he provides. I need so much support. Really I do. I mean as far as encouragement I feel like that is almost what I need the most aside from prayer. It is encouraging that people are praying for me......

I also wanted to note to everyone that while I'm in Honolulu at the school and while I'm in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, China and Hong Kong I will be posting pictures and hopefully some video to keep you all up to date on the happenings. So you can follow along with where I'm at in this amazing adventure I call life. I hope you feel apart of what I'm doing because if you are praying for me or supporting me in any way you are a part of it.
