Numbers

79 days til I leave for Israel! I have now reached the half way point in my support raising and I would like to thank everyone who has supported me so far. Thank you.

Prayer requests:
The next 79 days are going to be crazy. I have 38 days until this current semester is over. I am crazy busy with work and school. Pray that I will get my school work done and get through the semester. Also that work won't stress me out and I'll have some personal time between practice and traveling. There are 68 days until my brother gets married which means I will be spending 2 weeks home in Washington pre-wedding so pray that everything goes smoothly.

God provides

God is so good!!! It has been 2 weeks since I mailed my first round of support letters and I have already received 1/4 of the total support that I need. He really does provide!

I first heard that Athletes in Action took athletic trainers on tours about a year and a half ago. This immediately interested me because it is in my line of work. A staff member here at WSU strongly encouraged me to to apply this summer, but I was having my doubts about how I would financially make it over the summer in regards to finding a job that would allow me to be gone so much and where I could be able to pay my rent. Well, I had the application filled out and Brian told me to go for it. God then proved that He would provide for me. At ASU I work with the swim team and therefore spend a lot of time at the pool. I was chatting with the guy (who happens to be WSU alum) who is the pool facility manager and I happened to mention that I was a lifeguard. It turns out that he was currently hiring and immediately offered me a job. This was the day I turned in my application too. I now work a couple hours a week and will still have this job over the summer. These are the ways that He provides.
