Update from Phoenix

I feel like it's been a month since I left Florida but it's only been a week. One of those weeks where every day feels like it's own chapter, ya know? We traveled through to Baton Rouge the first day then to Ozoma Texas the next. The last day was only suppose to take 8 hours but the winds were really strong and took my topper and kept pushing the car around. We could only go about 65 most of the way....it took 15hours. After unpacking a couple of days Mom and I took a trip to Sadona. It reminded me of the Grand Canyon and was very beautiful. (If you double click onthe pics to the left you will get re-directed to my picasa album with comments on the pics.) After Mom left on Monday it really sunk in that I was here and very far from my comfort zone. I decided the best thing to do was to get busy with ministry. Today is my second day here in the Greater Reach office. I have loved being here and getting organized. Today Kristin Beasley and I went to lunch and just caught up. I was able to share some personal concerns with her that I would only trust with someone I knew well. So far there is much being discussed and worked on. The big one has been getting my support checks coming in. (I've saved it all till I was able to start). The book keeper here re-did the entire spreadsheet of my support and found that my numbers were a little off. I AM ACTUALLY 99.9% RAISED IN MY SUPPORT! Can you believe it? All my needs are met and I'm stoked. Praise God and thank you.

Some future events on my calender:
Thursday: Board meeting (this is where big decisions are approved)
Sunday: Spend Easter at the Beasleys
April 20-25: Attend a professional fund-raising school for promoting the ministry and my personal skills.
April 23: Spend 2 days with our contact from Romania planning our trip in October.
April 27-29: GRM Team Retreat to talk about big ideas in a cool mountain cabin
May 7th: My Birthday....I just added that for posterity
