Karaoke for the Kids Fundraiser for Peru

Last Wednesday was a WILD one....filled with disco balls, mirrored walls, karaoke and lots of funds raised for my upcoming mission to Peru!! I cannot tell everyone how thankful I am for all the support and love I feel--over $700 was raised that night despite ice sheets covering the road and the 'wintery mix' in the air. These kids don't know what's going to hit them come January!! I can't wait to meet them and tell them they are already SOOO loved by these strangers in good ol' Missouri! Check out some pics of the event!

God WILL provide!

It's so weird to think that a few weeks ago I was having slight anxiety about the lack of funds in my fundraiser efforts. I was trying not to focus on that, but instead of raising awareness about the orphanage and the sad-but-true stories composing these orphan's lives. I tried to turn my anxious energy into a prayer/mantra...God WILL provide, God WILL provide...and I'm floored every day at the humble generosity of friends, family, and even strangers. Ask and you shall receive!! And I have! In about a month, I've now raised about $2,500 for my trip and orphanage mission. The goal is $3,500, so just a little way to go people!
