I love the doxology, and it pops into my head in the harmonies that I hear while sitting at the staff table at Camp with all these pastors and their wives harmonizing 5 different parts. It's wonderful!
Anyway, it popped into my head due to the fact that I am praising God for all of the support partners that I have, both prayerfully and financially! I had a flood of people sign up for my e-mail newsletter, and a similar flood of support come pouring in! Thank GOD!
Thanks to my supporters, I am now fully funded, and I am departing for Macau on August 17! My plane ticket has been purchased, and I am now starting to pack. 4 weeks from yesterday! WOW.
I keep thinking of what "God stories" I can share with you, and I was wracking my brain to see what I could share: but I just realized that this is one in itself! I cannot believe that God is giving me the opportunity to be His missionary! What an honor!! And what an honor it is that you are all reading this! God is doing marvelous things, and I am so thankful that we as Christians are included in His plans! Isn't it special? That God would use US to carry out HIS plans!!! Thank God for seeing us as FORGIVEN AND CLEAN because of what Jesus did for us--He died on the cross as a scapegoat...as the payment for our sins! And not only that, He rose again, demonstrating His power over sin, death, and the devil!
And that is why I am going to Macau, and why God called you to support in one way or another: to share that message with people who have never heard it before. To share the law (that we are sinful), but then share the Gospel (that we are forgiven)!
What an honor!
Speaking of honors, I would be honored to share my story--more like God's stories!--with you. I ask you to "follow" or "subscribe" to my blog so that when I share updates you can be the first to see them! You can change your preferences to have Blogspot send you e-mails whenever I post, or you can just check periodically to see if anything new has been posted :) And feel free to leave comments--I love getting feedback!
Thank you for your prayers and your emotional support. It means a lot to know that people are praying for me and thinking about me!

so much joy!!! did I sign up for your newsletter? If not, I want to! My CUW email is good, although I have a 1 at the end of it. If that's confusing, I'll text it to you. I just don't want the whole world to see my email :) Hey keep me updated on how the packing is going- I'm so excited for you and all that God has in store for you!!!
