Almost there

I leave for Kairos in 4 days. 4 DAYS!!! That's so soon! Right now life is just kind of chaotic in preparation for it and there's a lot of stuff I need prayer for. Here's how you can be praying:

• So far I have $2080 raised (praise God!) but I need a minimum of $3000 by Sunday. Pray for finances to come in.
• My car broke down Sunday so pray for it to be fixed and for it to be safe because I need it in order to get down to Kansas.
• Pray for strength for me as I have a lot to get done this week such as writing a paper, finishing college applications, packing, ect.
• Pray for my mom as she adjusts to having an empty house. She's not looking forward to it.
• Pray for me as well as my host family as we adjust to living with each other.
• Finally, pray for God to break down all the barriers I've put up and just take me and make me who He wants me to be. This one scares me a little bit (or a lot a bit) but I know it's necessary.

Thanks for any prayers! They are much appreciated!

          So, obviously since I don't actually get to Kansas until Saturday I don't have a whole lot to update you on. Like I said up in the prayer requests, life is very hectic right now. It's only now hitting me that I'm going to be living in Kansas in less than a week! As I get closer the excitement is going down and the nerves are going up. I know it's going to be great but still, it's finally here and that's a scary concept.
          I found out who my host family is. Their names are Geoff and Amy and they have two little girls that are 7 and 2. I talked to them a little bit and that helped to calm a lot of fear because they seem pretty great. You know, I've always wanted little siblings so this should be fun. And they have a dog and it's a big one! That is super exctiting. So yeah, I think it'll be good.
