Time has flown since the last time I posted an update about my service trip to Ghana. I am half way through the fall semester of my senior year and am trying to soak up every minute. Since the last time I posted in July, I have received so many blessings I can't begin to number them all. Many of those blessings have come from family and friends in the form of prayers and donations towards my trip. For those who have prayed for me and sent me donations, I would like to sincerely apologize for not sending your thank you cards sooner. As I'm sure you all know, life has a way of making us so busy that we feel like we can't catch up. Though I have not mailed all of your handwritten thank you cards yet, please know that my heart is overwhelming with gratitude. William Arthur Wood once said, "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." Please consider this blog my attempt to give you all the present you deserve :)
Over the past four months, I have witnessed the Lord work miracles in my life. I went from having little funds for my trip to having almost completely funded the entire trip. It is because of generous, loving, and giving friends and family that I will be traveling to Ghana on December 7th! Every time I open an envelope, I am astounded by the heartfelt gifts I receive. Words can never describe how much it has meant to me to receive such thoughtful letters, notes, Facebook messages, and comments. Thank you simply isn't enough to describe how humbled I am to be the receiver of these generous gifts. Please consider the following e-card as an expression of my deep appreciation.

I am in shock that in about a month I will be traveling to meet our girls in Ghana! God has truly blessed me to have all of you join in my experience. I pray He will richly bless each and every one of you. I Love You all, always and for eternity!
Love Always,
Michelle
