I'm Short!!

And for a girl that is over 5'6” that's saying a lot! ;)

These are the blog posts I hate to write the most.

That is one of the two main things I want people to

know before they go into reading this!

The other thing I want to make very clear is that

I honestly have such a peace about it all! I am not

chomping at the bit or worrying myself crazy over this!

It has happened in the past and Father has ALWAYS taken care of it!

So, if I am not height short, I am sure you have guessed by now

I am meaning on my budget! 

Not once have I had the money needed be I have ever come to China. 

Not once have I had the money needed before I went.

 Each time, the money has been there when I need it and not before!

This time, I thought that for the most part I would be fine.

Even along the way I have had some of the most amazing provisions you

could ever hope to hear about! 

{Finding out that I did NOT owe another 3,360 in dorm fees being 

among the biggest and best bits of news I could ever have hoped to imagine hearing!} 

That helped out so much, and again when my tax return was far larger than 

I thought it would be. Yet it seems that ticket prices this year

have gone up and I now do not have the money to return to the U.S of A! :(

It is not just that I do not have the money needed for the flights.

That is the greater chunk of my need, I admit, but I also am about to

run out of living expenses money.

 For this reason, I will have to dip into the money I have for my ticket in 

order to pay for food and necessities while still at school and camp.

In order to buy the China to America ticket {I will take more than one flight as it is less expensive that way and also allows for me to travel in a group which I feel will be better for my back.} I need another $200. I try to keep my daily budget at 20rmb in order to allow my cash to last as long as possible. This means that given what I have left with me now, I will need to get money out near the end of May. My time here in China is quickly {oh my goodness!!} coming to an end, meaning that $150 should be enough to last me until I am to leave. 

All of this means that before I can buy the first ticket to the States, I need $350. 

{I will still need to purchase the ticket from where I fly back into the States to America, but this can be purchased at a later date so I do not need that money right now}

Because I hate to do the “Give me Money!” cry, I am not going to say that here!

What I will cry out is, please join me in asking for continued peace over the situation,

and that His will is done both in this case and in my life in general! Buzz that I will

find the answer to this problem and be able to use it to Glorify Him!

I always love seeing how He works these things out.

Again...not once have I had the money I needed when I left! But not once

have I been left in danger, or stranded! I have always made it to where I am suppose

to be and have always seen His mighty hand at work!

Thanks for reading everyone!!
