#52weeks - in reverse
I had such a blast linking up with Amber for #52 weeks last week, I had to come back again this week!
But, instead of sharing something I did this week, I just knew I had to share how Andrew and I were blessed this week (and last few months) instead.
I don't think I've shared with y'all that Andrew and I have decided to go on an Africa mission trip in April. It's a week and a half long trip to Uganda where we will -most likely- be going to a new school and working with the teachers/giving them strategies to help the kids, as well as doing a Vacation Bible School for the kids. We still arn't completely sure about this yet, but as of now, thats the plan.
Well, Andrew and I were SO nervous about the cost of this trip, because it was A LOT--just for one of us! But, we really wanted to try and both go. So, we decided to trust God, and know that He was going to make a way.
I can't begin to explain the awesomeness that is our God--we paid our deposit in November--and were blessed to be able to split that deposit with my parents.
Andrew and I paid our December deposit.
Then I found out my work was going to pay for our January deposit.
Annddddd to top it all off, mom just called last night to tell us that someone from church has pledged to pay the last of our deposit.
Umm, that means BOTH of our trips are PAID FOR!!!!
All we have to pay for now are the shots and getting our passports updated--which we need to hurry up with cause times ticking away!
I feel so blessed, and cannot wait to go to Africa and serve! So amazing how acts of kindness really do bless somebody. :)
Oh my goodness, that is so sweet!! I love that for you!! :)
