Changing

Oh my goodness. Tick tock goes the clock doesn't it? The month is almost over.  We're stilly blowing our fundraising goal out of the water.  Lives are being changed -- and when I say lives, I include my own.  This has been such an affirming project for me of who God made me and the desires he has put in my heart.  I have learned so much just from hanging out with the cool/wise/passionate folks of Mocha Club.  Never have I encountered that kind of vision matched so perfectly with patient strategy.  This project has challenged and stretched me in more ways that I had imagined I would encounter -- lessons in being teachable, vulnerable, confident, and faithful.  All that and I haven't even cut my hair yet!  I feel so abundantly blessed by this project.  I've been talking so much about changing lives in Ethiopia, but I'm humbled by how it has changed my own.

We're almost there.  Just a few more days.  Thank you for supporting my constant fundraising pleas.  I'm gonna keep pushing strong for these next couple days.  We've now raised more than enough to support 4 women through a year of holistic rehabilitation.  We're too close to supporting a 5th to back off now.  $259.  That's what we have left to bring us to a total $2,000 of donations / 5 women.  Let's do this!!

My haircut is scheduled.  4:30 this Friday.  I'm pumped.  The sweet folks of Salon N'Fuse are donating the cut.  I met with my stylist Jordan last week for a consultation.  She helped put to ease any of my last remaining fears of doing the big chop.  It's Pixie Time!

only $259 to go!
