Friday night I fully realized the fact that I won't have any income at all while I'm over there and that I'll be wholly limited to what I have put away in the bank. That has really been the first time I've ever been worried about money, and it caught me off guard.
I think what's added to the worry is the fact that I am also going to try and do a "Missions Boot Camp" next year over in Scotland (if they should host it there again, anyways). That's another plane ticket to purchase. Yikes!
God's so neat, though. Today's sermon was on money, and how we need to give God our trust rather than money.
My conclusions based on the sermon are that I need to have faith in God as my provider (who better to trust than the person who owns everything!), that He'll prepare a place for me to work when I return, that He'll be with me in Europe and will do some miracles, and that if that Boot Camp is in His will for me to do, then He'll make a way for it!
Besides money, I've really been hit hard this weekend that this fall semester is going to be big. I can't even anticipate what situations I'll be in or what lessons I'll be learning. Something is going to be done in my life, and I can only pray that I can have the courage and gumption to stick it through.

no need for panic; He is in control. The coolest thing (of course AFTER you see the miracle) about impossible situations is knowing that God works best in that arena. Once we're past our own resources, we must rely SOLELY on Him. It's a scary place to be at first, but the longer you know Him, the more you realize that he really does care EVERY day about even the smallest things. You'll receive much revelation in the next few months in the middle of this ADVENTURE!!! Expect to see God's hand. You know.....as your faith is..... :)
