The lack of me writing here has been parallel with the lack of me working on MPD... :/ The past few weeks have been really rough. I am starting to feel the weight of working 40 hrs/week. Ive been so exhausted and unmotivated to do anything when I get home, including MPD and spending time with God. So consequently, barely any support has been coming in. And Ive been feeling a bit discouraged lately.
However, I did receive an exciting phone call last week that God just used to bless and encourage me. A little background first... After student teaching I have kept in contact with one of my 6th grade students and we have gone out to dinner a couple times. So the last time I dropped her off, I decided to give her parents a support letter since I have gotten to know them a little bit through hanging out with their daughter. While I was there, they had another couple over and I ended up sitting and talking with them all for a little bit about what I will be doing with Student Venture. So when I called them back a week later to follow up on the letter, I talked to the dad and they said they would probably be able to support me but he had to talk about it with his wife first. Well, then last week the mom called to tell me they were going to support me but would need to wait till next month. They are supporting me with $1000!! I was so excited and barely even knew what to say! She also told me that the other couple may be interested in supporting me as well and said to send them a letter! In a time of feeling dry and down, God showed up and proved how he provides. :)
The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it. ~1 Thessalonians 5:24

Good luck with the support. It is great that they are able to support and possibly the other couple as well!
