I'm going to cry!!!!! All of you know that I'm leaving to go to Ukraine on the 14th of January to teach English for four months. No, it's not a mission it's a service abroad program!!!
Well I was a little worried about my financial situation. I didn't know if I would have enough money to spend on traveling when I got over there. ILP recommends $1,000 and with a part time job in which I worked four times than got layed off I didn't think it was possible to raise that much money in a month.
I gave it my best effort by putting up fliers in my ward to do cleaning and babysitting. I just sat down and counted my money and OH MY GOODNESS!! I did it!
I feel so extremely blessed right now I can't express it more than that! I was having doubts because I didn't feel like I was performing my absolute best in advertising, I felt slothful and unproductive and with the little things I have to gather for Ukraine i really felt useless. I was cleaning a lady's house once maybe twice a week and I babysat for my neighbor. I didn't think I would reach my goal with just two or three people but I DID! I'm so grateful for my father in heaven and I'm SO grateful for my family's prayers. I never noticed how much people are praying for me until reality hits me straight in the FACE!! haha
I now feel more prepared and less worried to fly across the world and do what I've been looking forward to this whole semester! It really does make a different when you take it one step at a time even though it may seem more stressful and it will test your patience, but at least you know you did everything and you won't need to worried about it!
Heavenly Father really will meet you half way. I didn't doubt it before but now I can truly testify that if you try and make a conscious product effort he will come through for you!!
I love this gospel and I love my life!!!!!
Thanks friends and family for all the support and the prayers you have brought into my life!
