Here's the update from me concerning the Czech Republic...
I can honestly say that the last month has been amazing. When I first started raising support, I struggled to see how in the world I would get the money to go, but God has knocked my socks off! I am now fully supported and financially cleared to go to the Czech Republic. I also bought my plane ticket! I leave for the Czech Republic on Saturday, September 13th! I will spend eighty-nine days there (returning on December 10th).
One of God's biggest blessings has been my churches' support. Not only did my church in VA really help me out, but so did my church in NC! This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak to the church in which I grew up. This church family, once again, showered me with their love and support (as they have done my entire life). God reminded me what a blessing it is to have an extended family in the Lord.
So, now I am keeping busy helping my parents around the house and getting things ready for to go for the Czech. Though it is somewhat overwhelming to think of living in another country for three months, I am excited to get going. I look forward to seeing how God continues to move in this next adventure!
