I was doing an update on my donation list and I can't believe how much I've received. Money is something I don't do well with and very scared of, so when we first began this journey down at discernment weekend in Florida, I initially balked at the idea of raising $10,000. But when things starting to get underway and up to now, I've been astounded on how everything moves so smoothly with the fundraising part.
With the responses I've received, I've gotten to really know that I'm truly blessed with a community behind me that support me and pray for me when I am down in Haiti. The generosity of the people who I've gotten to speak to and even those who I do not know but have heard about this is simply overwhelming. To say, "thank you" would be the understatement of the century. My appreciation and gratitude of the support, both in financial and in vocal support and prayer, is great. Words of encouragement given to me will be with me when I'm in Haiti and will be needed on days I might feel down or discouraged.
So there's the updated thermometer, we're almost there.
