As I have waited and watched the days float by with nothing coming into my account, lately I have felt like the people around me are failing me. People who told me they were going to give, but still there are no signs of it anywhere, people who told me that they were sending it in the mail "TODAY" and that "today" was about two weeks ago.
I guess I am just nervous and stressed about it.
I have 15 days, I currently have $1137 in my account which means I still need $2363 in my account.
The promises seem like they are just going to evaporate. I am just really nervous about it I guess. But even after I take away all the money that people have promised I still need roughly $1183.
I emailed a lady from H2H the other day and asked what happens if I don't have all the money in on time. She told me that as long as they have the $1550 for my plane ticket they can be a bit more flexible with getting the rest in. That means that I still need $413 in 15 days. That seems a bit more reasonable. Especially if a few of those promises come through.
The job that I have this summer in which I would have to do about 3 appointments per day, every day, in order to make enough to support myself, and that is with doing it up until 3 days before I leave.
I really hope support keeps coming in. I know I already posted this verse in an entry a few weeks ago, but I keep coming back to this verse and it is so true, especially for right now. Keep me in your prayers.
The official countdown is down to 42 days!
Philippians 4:6-7
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus

Days and Dollars.
I am counting the days until I am finished with my sophomore year. (3 days)
I am counting the days until my money is due for Romania. (24 days)
I am counting the days until Romania. (53 days)
I am counting the days until Terrah and I are roommates. (roughly 96 days)
I am almost counting the days until I graduate. (two years)
I am counting how much I have in my account right now. ($810)
I am counting checks I have recieved from people and promises from people. (roughly $1315)
Which makes my "total" as of now ish about $2,125
Which means I still need about $1375.
OUCH!
I just seem to like counting right now.
I still need some more support.
Definately praying for that situation.
But God will take care of it, see:
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord,
"plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future."
