Jumbly Dumbly

My mind is all a jumble right now but I haven't written anything in a while so I thought I write a few words to fill you all in. I only got a couple hours of sleep last night because Shadowfax was throwing up until about 5am. He just got neutered a couple days ago and was in bad shape so I spent the night sitting outside with him while he was sick. All of this is to say, I'm sorry if this post makes no sense. :)

The first thing on my mind lately is money and although nobody really likes to talk about or hear about money, I'm gonna share a little. My support is way down right now, I've never been in this situation before and I could really use your prayers. I currently have about $150 dollars to my name and the first of the month is coming with means rent is due as well as other bills. I'm already late on my phone bill so here's hoping my internet doesn't get turned off mid sentence. :) I believe there are a few reasons for this dip in support. The economy, the busyness of the holidays and some confusion about where people are supposed to send money. There are probably a lot of reasons but knowing them doesn't make living, eating and paying my bills any easier. My heart knows that God wants me here and that He is going to provide what I need, but my head can't help but worry continually. And yet, even as I write this, I feel guilty for doubting God and I feel myself needing to be stronger. Pray for me, will ya?

The other thing taking up all my time is the planning for a conference. Next month PMI is hosting a women's conference in Chiang Mai and it is going to be awesome, I am really excited about it! But I never realized how much goes into planning such a big event. Everything from the venue to the decor to themes to childcare and food and the list just goes on and on. I'm learning a lot and I'm really looking forward to the conference!

I've also been thinking a lot about my trip back to the states this year. I originally planned to leave at the beginning of March but my financial troubles and busyness have caused me to put that on hold for a little bit. I've been waiting until I have the funds to pay for the trip but I've decided to go ahead and get a plane ticket and plan for the trip, trusting that God is going to provide the money I need. And I know He will, He always does. So, right now you can probably expect to see me sometime in late March. I'll let you all know the exact dates after I get my ticket. Please pray for my plans! Thanks friends, I love you all!
