I Will Follow Him to Costa Rica.

I can never describe to you the feeling I had when I wrote May 17, 2011 over "Provision: Costa Rica" on my Prayer Request board earlier tonight. FULL support was raised! A friend traveled all the way to my home to bless me with financial support tonight & I couldn't believe how selfless & generous he was. You know who you are. . .thank you deeply & incredibly! It was an answered prayer & immediately I was filled with inexpressible joy & praise to my Father. I think back to the time I wrote provision for Costa Rica as a prayer request; (as much as I do not want to admit it & hate admitting it) I doubted it would happen & I would have never imagined His provision to come about in the ways that it did. He has refined my faith & has brought it to a whole new level! I cannot wait to see where He takes my faith next! Praise God for His grace & His ways of molding us into new creations.

My mom came up to help me pack & get ready for my trip (she is so loving); I just finished packing & I am getting some last minute things done before I leave for the airport in 6 hours! Can you believe it came this quickly?! I just wanted to thank every single person for their support & prayers in my journey with the Lord. I deeply appreciate you & the part you play in my life; I praise God for you. You are always in my thoughts & prayers! I won't have my computer while in Costa Rica (it is getting fixed), so hopefully I can borrow a fellow team member's computer & keep you updated through the blog & facebook! :) I am so excited & I cannot wait to see what God is going to do through this experience, not only for me, but also for everybody involved (including YOU). & of course, I cannot wait to share this experience with you, as well as the photos!

Please continue to keep the whole team & the people we come in contact with in your prayers! Love you all. 

Costa Rica team!

p.s. My friend Isaac Lessard is raising support for a long-term missions trip to Japan; as his brothers & sisters in Christ we must support him (if called by the Lord) financially & definitely, without a doubt, in fervent PRAYER! Prayer is far more powerful than money every will be. You can find more information/details about his trip to Japan on his blog & on his facebook page.
