Support Raising...

Through support raising I've been learning my own limitations, my own stubborn pride (I definitely do not like asking people for help) as well as God's great (though rather mysterious) sovereignty. It's been a very stretching experience, but all things considered, a good one.

That being said... I need help. Obviously both in the realms of financial and prayer, but also in suggestions and advice on the process of support raising. I have had a fairly random approach which is beginning to find some kind of coherence and method, but is still rather irregular. I also want to apologize to those of you who have either not gotten a support letter (if you feel left out, I can assure you that it has been completely accidental) or to those of you who have gotten several through the confusion of my helter-skelter note taking. I am learning. I also want to express my intense appreciation to those of you who have supported me/are supporting me in any way. I can't even begin to express my gratitude.

I am at 58% of my needed funds. It does feel good to be past the half way point. This experience has accentuated my realization of the rapidness of time. I am swiftly coming upon August, which is my hoped for (yearned for etc...) departure date. I can hardly believe it. I have applied for my visa and am awaiting the outcome of that detail (with some baited breath.) I am so very excited (though I'm pretty sure I have overused that word during this process.)
