As I am getting prepped for my trip to Malawi, there are many things that need to be done!
1) I need a passport.
2) I need $3,500 by mid-may
3) I need to be praying hard for this trip.
4) I need shots.
And there are many more things i need in order to go.
The other day, I was talking to one of my best friends, and Satan picked that opportunity to get under my skin. As I was sharing my heart about how ecstatic I was to go on this trip, but how stressed I was about the money, my friend looked at me and said, "Alyssa, can I ask a question?" of course i told her yes... and she proceeded to say "Well, why don't you save your money for more important things, like college? I just don't understand why you need to go so bad."
I literally looked at her with the most intent look and said "you don't get it at all. God has placed this passion in my heart, and he told me to go, so i am going. I have no idea how the funds are gonna come in, but I believe that my God is big enough to provide that for me..."
She gave me a dumbfounded look, and i walked off, in order to keep from saying anything else.
My God does provide. He sent me about $400 this past week.
Satan, you tried, and you failed. Good luck next time.

The past few weeks, I have been doing something that has been very very hard for me: relying on God every morning in order for me to be calm and know everything will be ok.
I am going to Malawi in July and I have to raise over $3,000 dollars in the next month... I am incredibly stressed, but there is a strong voice in the back of my head that is telling me, "Alyssa, I've got this!"
I have heard the stories, from my own sister, in which she got the money right when she needed it, and i am already beginning to see this happening. It is very difficult for me, however, to just "Be still and know".
In the past week, i'm beginning to see many miracles... God is getting my cds, in which i didn't even expect to sell, being sold for $5 a piece. I sold 5 of them yesterday!!! 5!!!! This cd was only supposed to be for my sister who was going to Africa and wanted one!!
Also, i am working a lot and i am making bank. I made enough money yesterday to get my passport.
God continues to whisper, "I got this"
And i continue to wait.
