Almost 3 weeks from now...

We'll be leaving for Indonesia.

How. Crazy. Is. That.

I am continually being blown away by God's faithfulness and provision for this trip.

Around 2 weeks ago, we had our second garage sale. We raised over $800!!! WOW!

Then, another crazy thing happened.

I went to turn in money one week. After counting up how much our total should be after I gave it, I knew I had given our accountant that day around $2,400 or so.

I received an email from one of them 2 days later asking if I knew how much I had given that day. I said I knew what the total was but wasn't exactly sure. She said it was because there was MORE money in the envelopes than I had marked on them. I figured I'd just made a simple calculation error. Left out a five or maybe neglected to count a 20.

That Friday, I received our weekly update. I went back and calculated how much money it said I had turned in, just to see how off I was....it was $1,700 more than I had calculated!!!! I know I can be off sometimes. But let's get real. There's no way I neglected to count THAT much money. It also said I turned in a single envelope with $1,000. I never remember writing that on a single envelope.

God. Is. AMAZING.

Currently we have 9 of our 10 plane tickets purchased. We ALMOST have enough money for the 10th one and after that, it's just about raising money for us to live on in the 3 weeks that we're there.

If you are praying for anything, PLEASE PRAY FOR FINANCES!

I know God is moving because every week, more money shows up. It still blows my mind that I have a ticket to Indonesia when I had absolutely no way to pay for it. Indonesia. That country on the OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD.

I also know that in these three weeks, because of your prayers, and because we have a faithful God, we're going to see amazing miracles.

As they happen, I will try to keep you updated.

Thank you so much to everyone who has/is financially and prayerfully supporting us. You have a HUGE inheritance in Indonesia.
