No, not the dinner and a movie kind of
a date. I have a departure date!
With the addition of one or two more
supporters, I have come to the decision that, while I am still not
100% funded for my journey, it is time to take a leap of faith and
get going. {I am, in fact, about 85% on my support, needing only $75
more per month.} Armed with that knowledge, I purchased my tickets,
put in my notice at work, and began all the last details for the
move. This included telling Tommy, who has approved of my going only
because 1. I promised we will still see each other on Skype {Just
like David, Lisa, and Isaac, he said} and 2. the kids at his former
home will be glad to have me there.
When is this departure date, you ask?
April 5th.
Yes, you read that right! Just one month away!
That, at least, is my farewell America day, as I will be leaving
Michigan on the 30th of March in order to visit friends
and supporters in California.
OH.MY.GOODNESS!!!
I love that I finally get to go and
start all of this and that this dream is finally coming true. At the
same time, I do have to admit that I am emotional about leaving and
saying goodbye. Right now, I talk more about going than I do leaving.
{Yes, they are different}
Like I said, I am still $75 a month
away from being fully supported. If you would like to help me, and
you feel led to be a supporter of my life in Tianjin China, you have
OPTIONS!
Checks may be sent to my family home in
MI, where 'Houston'
{my home-base helpers, i.e., Kade and Mum} will
deposit it in my back account.
Send it through paypal using the email
address – sajmakii@hotmail.com
If you would like to be a monthly
supporter, please contact me so that I am aware that you are helping
me filling those last spots! :)
One time gifts are of course also such
a blessing, and I thank everyone who has been so generous in helping
me with all of this in every way! Praying, contacting me, and sending
money is all more than I could ever say!
If you would like to keep up to date
with the goings on of this Ozzie in China, please check back here to
see updates.
I also will be sending out email
updates. If you would like to be added to those as well, please send
me a private message, or an email at jiejiecarm@gmail.com
so that I can keep in touch that way!
In China, texting me is also possible
through an app on my kindle. I have an American number from which I
can both send and receive texts. If you would like that number,
please send me a message so I can get it to you!
Once again, thank you so much for
joining me on this!
All my love!
