Trust

Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight."

I have one more month before the flight to Ireland! It's an exciting thought, but quite an emotional one. I'm not usually an emotional person, but recently I've thought about how my life is literally changing now. What I've known for the past six years: my speech league, my school, my friends - it's all changing. But just because it's changing doesn't mean I'm sad. And just because it's emotional doesn't make it depressing. It's an exciting and new time for me, and I am simply hesitant. The verses above, Proverbs 3:5-6, remind me that when I am hesitant in anything, I can trust in the Lord. When I do so with all of my heart and lean on HIS understanding and not my own, my path will be made straight.

Right now, I'm having to put complete trust in God because I am still in desperate need of funds. I currently have $4,498.98 toward the trip. Now, that may seem like a lot, but I still need $3,501.02. Please remember that you can donate online! Go to:

During the 4th of July weekend, I was asked to present my American Legion speech at a couple of Tea Parties where I was also able to mention my Ireland trip. At one event on the 4th, I collected $100 in cash! What an experience to see people willing to help further God's Kingdom!

We're a little more than half-way there! I'm sure we can make it with your help! Thank you and God bless!
