100% (!!)

It's official . . . according to my calculations - I'm 100% at both outgoing and monthly pledges! Whoa!

I just feel really blessed right now. On top of the news that I'm completely funded, I got an email from a friend at RVA with pictures of furniture . . . furniture for me! A teacher is leaving and is blessing me with many pieces of furniture. It's just amazing how the Lord provides. Just this week I've been mentally tallying the furniture there that I am giving away/selling, and starting to imagine how I would furnish a house of my own . . . in Africa! And then, just like that, an answer - before I could even get properly worked up about it.

But that's just how He does it.

As a side note, if you were still planning to support me but hadn't gotten around to it yet - any extra money goes into my 'work funds,' which can be used for ministry-related expenses. It will also keep my monthly salary consistent if there are months when monthly giving falls short. Also, friends of mine are struggling to get support raised for their family of 4 to go to RVA in June. Let me know if you are interested in that giving opportunity.

AND . . . if you want to watch, here's a good video of RVA. I know one of the kids featured - we lived with his family for a week when I had my semester in Tanzania. Connections!
