Before the Beginning

Well, this is my first blog entry ever. I'm told I should keep one for this trip, which I will attempt to do faithfully.

This first entry is rather uninteresting, however, because nothing has yet occurred. I mostly want to talk about God's provision. I have lettres to send out asking for assistance -- prayer and finanical. I am walking in faith that the Lord will take care of me. I have received wonderful, generous help from several folks. I also have one scholarship. These help me loads, but I still haven't paid for it all yet. I have technically paid for less than a quarter of the costs.

I also hadn't given much thought at first to extra costs for necessities such as immunizations (you'd think that'd be obvious), appropriate clothing, etc. I never realized things cost so much...welcome to the adult world!

I am excited to see what God does through all of this, and I won't hesitate to praise Him when it's all taken care of! In fact, I think I'll praise Him beforehand as well. :) He will give me my daily bread. I just need to seek His kingdom first.
