Romans 14:22 So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who does not condemn himself by what he approves.
My weekend was pretty amazing. I didn't get to rest nearly as much rest as I dreamed I would get to. It was a pretty silly idea to think that I would get any serious sleep in when I had a bake sale today at church and also had to bake Saturday in order to have said baked goods.

Do not let the look of the cheesecake fool you. We melted sugar and strawberries in a pot and made a delicious little sugary, glaze-like syrup for our delicious cheesecake cupcakes. They were such a hit! We had a diabetic eat four and tell us he may have a heart attack later. Little did we know that a diabetic was getting drugged up with sugar the whole time. Maybe we should do blood work before making these again.
Our bake sale did amazingly well. God really showed up and met us once again. Africa is really happening. I get so caught up in all the steps that are laid out before us like passports, various shots, support letters, BAKING for almost every Sunday and Monday, the appropriate attire necessary for the actual trip... It is all enough to make you forget that God has called you to go to Africa and is step by step confirming that call. Watching the faces of our pastors, the youth and the body in whole light up at the thought of five, single, under twenty-five, California girls excited to go to Uganda (a.k.a THE BUSH) is so amazing. Sometimes I think we get so caught up in the steps we forget where GOD is leading us and the ultimate destination.
I still have a couple of things I need to fulfill.
1) shots. I heard that Kaiser administers for free so just need prayer that all goes smoothly with those. Without insurance they can run up to 200 dollars total.
2) Support Letters. I feel like the enemy keeps wanting to me to feel guilty about seeking financial support from friends and family and because of that I struggle with putting the pen to the paper. Pray God gets all the glory and that I can just push out the letter He really is writing at the end of the day. It isn't about me but I keep thinking about myself and how I look sending a support letter.
It is wayyy too late for me. I seriously am exhausted. What a lovely vacation huh?
I hope you all had an amazing weekend! Did you do anything fun? Like... SLEEP?
