Yes, it's true...I am still here in Pennsylvania ~ NOT YET in Oaxaca, Mexico!!! My original date for departure was August 21st. But, the first week of August, I was told that I was being delayed to go to Mexico because I didn't have enough monthly support raised.
It was a big disappointment to read that news ~ but, I tearfully & prayerfully wrote an email to all of my friends & family to ask for their prayers about specifically this. Here is a quote from that email:
"I believe that His plans are perfect, I believe that His timing is perfect, & I believe that He WILL make a way for me! Please, pray for the emotions of my heart to catch up with what I know to be true!"
At the time I wrote that email, my financial support was at 80% of the monthly faith promises needed & 43% of the one-time gifts needed.
God heard my prayers & the prayers of my brothers & sisters in Christ...and He answered, "YES!" Just a week later, by August 11th, I had 100% of the monthly promises needed & had permission to book a flight for early September!!!
I was going to buy a ticket for 2nd week of September. But, I found a ticket $180 cheaper for the following week. So, now, my flight is scheduled for September 15th.
I sent out an email announcement. I announced it several times on Facebook. I'm telling everyone I know. BUT ~ people are surprised that I'm still here.
So, will you do me a favor? Spread the word! :)
I'm Leavin' On A Jet Plane...Wednesday, September 15th!
I'll leave the house at about 9:30am & get on an airplane just like this one, leaving Philadelphia at 12:29pm (EST) & arriving in Houston at 4:00 (EST).
Then, I'll get on a much smaller airplane, that looks just like this one at 7:15 (EST) & get into Oaxaca at 9:43 (EST).
