God is awesome, and as I wrote this, "Africa" came on my iTunes that's on shuffle

I had been feeling very disheartened about my Liberia trip this summer. Seriously? 2,500 dollars? That would be all of my paycheck for more than a year. There's no way I could raise that.

The I took a few minutes last night to present my fears and worries to God. Along with those, I told him about my doubts about whether or not I should even be going and my true motivation. I asked for a real, tangible sign that I was supposed to go on this trip, because I want to do His will, and not mine.

Later that night, I got a call from the Westwood Baptist Church (my hometown church) and their missions team. I missed the call, but the guy called back again today to talk to me. He told me all about the things I would need to know about life in Africa (he lived in Nigeria for a while). Then, he told me that Westwood would cover the last 25% of the cost!!! WHOAH! THANK YOU, GOD!!! :DDDD
