Saved by Grace
Praise the Lord! I raised about $1000! Which means my flight is paid for and I have left over money. This is much more than I expected, God is so gracious! Huge thank you to all my supporters who so generously gave. the picture above is proof that your money is going to a good cause! I cant wait to post pictures of the childrens faces when they see all the goodies! Tuesday I went to Target and pretty much emptied out their dollar sections, I have a whole shopping cart full of things. It was so fun! Then I hit up the dollar store which had tons of great stuf. I only wish I had a million dollars to spend. I bought… colorings books, books, puzzles, construction paper, glue sticks, glitter glue sticks, paint sticks, rolls of paper, pencils, finger paints, bubbles, chalk, socks, hand sanitizers, lip glosses, nail polish, little mirrors, hair barrets, crazy straws, teaching materials, fun addition and word flash cards, activity books, little tote bags, beads, craft kits, fun foam sheets…everything I could think of. I had no idea how much to get of things but I know that these things will really help the Acosta’s out with the kids club they run and with teaching the children at the shelter. Now, my next dilema is…how am I going to get this stuff to Mexico? Thanks to the summer embargo I can only check one bag…if I want to check another one it costs $30 one way! I am concerned that I might exceed the 50lb limit. However, I do have enough money left over to pay for the bag and any cost of exceeding weight limit. Thank God! How wonderful is it, He knew exactly how much I would need! So I am taking the biggest suitcase I can find (within the alloted dimentions 62. in) and filling it with all the things. I am taking a smaller suitcase and really packing light! which if any of you know me….can be nearly impossible. But with God all things are possible! On the way home form Mexico Ill put my little suitcase inside the bigger suitcase and thus only have to check one bag on the way back. I hope this works! If I want to bring my guitar, that counts as my carry on…so I might only be able to bring my guitar and a tote bag on the plane. Oh well, God is in control!
