Eight

I know you are tired most likely of reading about my trip all the time. But heres the thing-I have never seen miracles happen to me(besides Jesus saving me) until now. Any day I am struggling with money, anxiety and all the little things that stress me out concerning my mission trip, God works.All that I could share I have about his miracles in my life thus far. I made up my mind a couple months ago that I would share every expierence of God doing what He does before, during ,and after the summer. He is perfect. I have to share this stuff, you know? As small as a dufflebag and as large as a plane ticket-my heart burns with passion for a Saviour who sends me across the world with the ultimate message of love and tends to every detail along my way. The joy of knowing your life is in His hands. Even when you have little money and little talent or confidence. He works it out, you guys. Miracles. He still does them. He is the same God today who switched water to wine.

That was merely the disclaimer for the next miracle I must share with you. Maybe its not water to wine, but I am praising anyway.

As I said in the last blog, I didn't have the money I needed for all the things I had to buy-including fifteen freeze-dried meals which are too much for their own good. God had provided a large sum of money for me on Wednesday night already(you know who you are and I love you so much and thank you!) This lightened my load a huge bit and I praised God. However, once my dufflebag got ruined and I counted the cost for mosquito netting and other things I realized I was about 100 dollars short. (The duffle replacement being at least 50$.)To make matters worse, the shopping day comes and I race into my Moms room(ready to go and see how God is gonna provide the money I need) and she is so sick with a migraine she cannot speak. I sigh. What is the deal, God? I have to get this stuff before I go and my trip is almost here. Do You know what You are doing? Yeah, he does, Kaylee. Poor Mom felt bad all day and just recovered this afternoon actually. I have been discouraged. Afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy the essential things I needed for the trip. I knew unless a check came in for me...well, same old story-it could mean alot of negative things. Waiting on something miraculous, I just kept hoping.

I hung out in the 2's and 3's this (Sunday) morning with Kaley. She told me that a lady gave her a check to give to me when she dropped off her child in the nursery. I smiled knowingly. Thanks, God. He is so good. I could just continually brag on him and scream at the top of my lungs His glory and shout aloud how He saved me and sent me...yup. This is gonna be a great summer. Oh, yeah,the check was for a 100$. =)
