The summer is quickly coming to an end for me. The BGC summer program has come to an end, and boy, I sure do miss those kiddos. I have already started some trainings that entail what I'll be teaching in the school this year. I will have a few days between now and the start of school to take it easy a bit. I have been pushing myself to keep going, and I desperately need some down time before school starts.
I have been doing a lot of baking these past couple of weeks. When I put it out there that I was baking cookies to raise money for my Manila trip, people reached out! I have been approached with orders, donations, and pledges of support. This tells me one thing: God is definitely in this. If He were not, I don't believe He would be blessing me for the financial part of this life-changing adventure. I also feel God is working in my heart and preparing me for what He wants to show me while I am there. I have adopted the hashtag #RobtoManila2024 as the name of my campaign. My campaign runs as follows:
1. That God would move in my heart and in the hearts of the people He brings across my path.
2. For safe journeys to and from Manila, and while I am there.
3. That I would be fully funded in a timely fashion.
When you pray for the #RobtoManila2024 campaign, those are the three things you can pray for.
I am back working at the Alley, which helps the campaign. The money I make there pays for the ingredients needed to bake goodies, so that I can stick every penny into the Manila fund, without having to use any money as overhead.
The State Fair blog will look a little different this year. While I still plan on going everyday and blogging the day's activities, I will not be eating there every day. I'm putting that money towards Manila. Rather, I'll post about what I've had in the past, and what the cost is. I'm also cutting out most frills like entertainments and souvenirs, etc. I want to be sure that I'm not being frivilous with my money. There are a few things that I'll indulge in. There are a few "gotta have it" items. But, for the most part, I'll be packing some snacks to take with me. I'm sure you understand, thanks!
I have to get going, I have some things to get accomplished yet today. I just wanted to get an update out to you since many of you have been asking. Thanks for reading, and God bless you.
PS: I apologize for any typos, I'm pretty tired!
