10 days.
yes.. no..
9 and a half days.
departure to Africa. (well technically, England, then Africa).
I'm trying not to freak. Trying not to stress, cause we have a week and 2.5 days to raise the rest of this money.
I can't believe there was such a huge deficit.... Idk i mean i sorta can believe it, because thats a TON of money to raise in 6 months. I mean $6000+ for everything. It's sobering, really.
I'm sitting here, during the little free time that I have, and making CDS to sell at the benefit concert on Friday night. We just walked around a neighborhood here in Cumming this morning for two hours.... got $60.00 which is more than we went with, but hardly makes a dent in $4000 in less than two weeks.
But Im literally getting so pumped about it. So pumped. There's so much I want to do. So much i still have to do before we leave.
Like get more shots! EEEEEEK!!! I still need Hep A and Hep B!!
I also have about 6 hundred people that are saying they want to get together with me before i leave. which flatters me and makes me feel good because it means that people want to see me, but its like... im going through my schedule this week, and with all the go-away things and working and packing. (BTW I have the greatest boyfriend in the entire universe. He totally bought me my luggage yesterday. and i dont only love him cause he takes care of me. i love him for him! :) follow his blog at http://codychembars.blogspot.com/)
But the good news is, while i was talking, one of my grandmas friends gave me $5! :) haha.
idk its just insane how this is all panning out. I dont even know. The preview service is tomorrow night.....
i'm excited about it... like super excited...I get to sing!! at the preview service! the first actual service for Revolution Church!!! WHAT!? And I'm part of the intern team that's going on our first mission trip as a church?! WHAT?!? oh man. i dont even know...
Why me? why did I get to be the one to sing at the preview service and lead worship all those times at inman perk and Shad & Ashley's house? Why do i get to go on the mission trip?
I mean its amazing to think about how there are so many other capable, willing, much more deserving peope than myself, but I was still chosen.
man... its insane..
well i've got to go get ready for work now, but please, please keep me in your prayers.
if you need any more info on the service tomorrow night, or the trip and how you can donate, or even about any upcoming events, please visit www.theonelovemovement.com or www.iamrevolution.org
with that... I'm off!
About
- Mrs.Chembars
- I mean... what is there to say, really? Joy is my name, Laughter is my language. I'm a Georgia peach -- born and raised.. -- I have a story, but we all do. There's not enough time, or space to describe what I'm passionate about..But I am passionate. There's so many things I want to do in life. There's so many places I want to go, people I want to reach. The possibilities are endless. I am a musician. I'm a dancer. I am a photographer, poet, reader, writer, jock, nerd, city girl, beach girl, sweet southern girl.I'm sophisticated. I'm down to earth. I am a sister, a daughter, a worshipper. I am learning, falling, growing. I am laughter, I am tears. I am joy. I am fear. I am strong, I am delicate. I wish. I pray. I enlighten, inspire, encourage, intrigue. I disappoint, I frustrate. I'm a thinker, I'm a doer. I'm sarcastic, I'm sincere. I doubt, I cry, I live and I have died. I am passion. I'm a lover, I'm in love, I am love. I am all of the above. But it's not really about me.... is it?
