update on my ethiopia trip...

well, things have been moving right along as far as my trip is concerned. here are some of the things i've taken care of:

1. i got my new passport! (my current one expires in june) this was quite the ordeal, but the new one is here in my possession now.
2. both of my spiritual references have been sent in by the appropriate people.
3. i have sent in all of my other paperwork required.
4. money is being raised.

today, God just went above and beyond what i had expected or hoped as far as the money was concerned. i got a text from a dear friend who told me that she and her husband have been praying about how to tithe their tax return. after discussing it, they decided to donate it to my trip! they donated $700 to the ethiopia medical trip today!!! i was so surprised, excited, humbled, and wowed at how God meets our needs. please keep praying for me as i prepare to go on this trip. it will be here before we know it! check out my fund thermometer to the right : )
