I Am Blessed

I purposefully did not ask for any financial aid for my trip. I wanted to let myself experience the favor of God and trust in Him in a new way. I believed, but wanted to help my unbelief. The trip was expensive (in my humble opinion, as a part-time Panera Bread Associate making 7.75 per hour!). Here's the breakdown:

Round-trip ticket: 1120

Upfront expenses for lodging, food, etc: 1900

Nikon D5000, lens filter, 4GB memory card, and camera case: 967

So far, God has led my friends to contribute 1496 and it is still coming. My God is amazing. I asked that He would take care of me, and that I would see tangible results. 1496 is very tangible!
