So I had my fundraiser at Spangles on Thursday, and It went Great! Thank you to those who came!

GOD is amazing, A couple of days ago, my family wasn't sure if I would make enough in time, and that Maybe God didn't want me to go, we prayed and prayed and prayed, and God pulled through of course! In just 3 days God brought in more then enough for my first deposit. I don't have much more to raise for my other half either, my dad put it in terms of 23 people give $100 and I'm done, I get to go! This made me excited, 23 people isn't very many, and I'm sure I could get more then that to just give me 50.

I have a prayer request however, Tuesday and Wed. are my last days of school, Finals week, and I have been so busy working, and making phone calls, and going to graduations, I haven't had much time to study..Today is my study day, and I am taking a 10 min break from physics to update you guys. I pray that God will give me energy to finish strong, since these Grades are crucial to my college career.

I pray and thank God for all of you,

Its Official!
Spangles Fund raising Night is going to be one Thursday May 21st
Bring all your friends, family, frienemies..whatever...Spread the word!!!
It starts at 5pm and ends at 8pm, so don't come at lunch...it won't count..
Now I know a lot of you are thinking gross spangles...but I have worked their for 7 months now, and I have worked at sonic in the past...Sonic food is decent yes?? well after working there...I'm never eating their again..where as at Spangles..today I wanted some onion rings, but Resisted... The oil isn't animal oil it is soybean so if your a vegetarian, its cool. The Ice cream is good, I like it, and it is Lactose free, so No excuses..I have my bases covered..

Haha I hope to see as many of you as possible come out to at least say hello or place a tip in a jar..

Which reminds me....
At school There is a Jar in Nussbuam's room, Feel Free to make it happy, it WILL smile for you if you put a dollar bill...laugh if you give it 5 and will it might give you a hug if you give it a 10, I guarantee it :)

Praying

Fund raising Night?

So Spangles agreed to let me have a fund raising night where I'll get 20% of the profit made in a 3 hour period... We initially agreed on a Tuesday night...but later I found out that a bazillion graduation parties were going ( ok only 2...but 1 of them had 3 of my good friends..who would attract half of my school.) so not wanting to compete with seniors who have waited their whole for a grad party...I am going to try to move my fund raising night to that Thursday two days later...
I will update this post to let you know the exact times on Thursday..PLEASE spread the word! Moms take the night off from cooking dinner- Dads Advocate for dessert that night! Please come and order something! any and everything will help! You don't need a poster or a name..just come in.. I might even be your cashier, or milkshake maker.. haha

More updates soon

I wish I had more for you....

Its been awhile since I've been able to update but not much has changed, I'm still working on sending more and more letters out. but not many reply's yet.. Keep praying that God will open hearts!
I went to Wal-mart the other day to see if I could do a car wash, I've heard that they will match what ever you make up to 500 dollars. Instead the manager said Wal-mart might just donate to me! which would be great :)

I'm also planning a fund raising night at the restaurant I work at... Spangles.. So if your in the Lawrence area...check back on... Monday... ?...for a date for that, Spangles will give me 20% of the profit they make that night which would be a huge help!! Mudslides, fries, and Milkshakes are pretty good there so if your not a hamburger person please feel free to still come!

At school I "installed" a change jar on my teacher, Mr. Nussbaum's, desk. I'm hoping kids will stick loose change and dollar bills in it...Most of my friends know about my opportunity and want to help.

All in all I'm a little nervous seeing as I only have 20 days left to raise 50% of my total amount, and with Global Expeditions, its a first come first serve, I cannot go with out your prayers and support. But I know that God will pull through and remain faithful, he is the one ultimately in control.

In Christ
