Go Cards!

On another (completely unrelated) note, how about those Cardinals???!! I must admit, I have been glued to the TV watching this playoff run.  I know Josh would be proud of these guys and his closest friends.  Once a Cardinals fan, always a Cardinals fan.
Did I mention that I might have a slight crush on David Freese?


How much fun are they having? Got to love baseball in October. 

Coutndown: 12 Days

Hey guys! I just wanted to say a big thanks for all your prayers and support.  The Lord has provided all my support and I have been given clearance by staff.  I purchased my ticket to Mexico a couple days ago and you will officially be rid of me on November 10th! I honestly could not thank everyone who contributed support- both prayerfully and financially- enough to feel satisfied but, as I have said earlier, I can only pray that the Lord will generate blessing upon blessing in your life because of the blessing you have been to me.  You are each very close to my heart and I want you to know you will be prayed for throughout this next year.

On that note, I do have a couple of prayer requests: Marnie (my teammate already in Mexico) is currently in Guadlajara with a couple other members of our team at the PanAm games (what the heck is this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_American_Games) talking with athletes and coaches about Jesus.  They have been given some amazing opportunities so prayers for those to continue and their continued safety would be amazing.

Additionally, my other teammate, Erica, is in the process of raising money so we are praying for the Lord to open up people's hearts to give to our cause.  Specifically, we are praying that the Father of all creation would open the floodgates and bring in the rest of her support in a way that could not be explained by anything but divine intervention.  Ya'll have been my prayer warriors thus far so I feel better already knowing these requests will be offered to the Lord by you.

I'll be updating this in the next few days with some cool details about how the Lord is providing because, well, I just think it's a really cool story.  Love you guys!
