Excitement is building up in me!

Excitement is the one word I can think to describe how I feel right now! The anticipation of what is to come is making me so excited! I can not wait to get to Thailand and to begin that season there, although I am still excited to see what the Lord has in store for me these last 3 weeks here America!
My plane ticket has been purchased and I will be flying out September 10th at 7:20am for Thailand! My funds right now are at 65%, it still blows me away with how far I have come and how little I have left to raise! Only $500 in monthly supporters and $1,000 of my set-up, I am oh so close to calling Thailand my home!
The process of fundraising thus far has been a journey I will never forget, I have learned to trust the Lord in a way that I never have before. I daily had to wake up and say ok I trust you Lord to provide for me because I have nothing. To see the Lord continually provide for me throughout this journey has been a huge blessing. I admit it has been a struggle, a struggle I never expected. But man I would not change a minute of it, to be in a position to not be able to do anything but trust the Lord! To see the funds come in has proven to me time and time again that I am in the will of the Lord, He has called me to Thailand and I will go! 
I still have about 3 weeks left of this fundraising process and I am excited to see the Lord bring in the funds! Please continue to join with me in prayer! That those the Lord are calling to give would do so! Here is the link once again Donate Now
Please share my story with others and share with them my desire to go to Thailand! And feel free to give them my email andria.jasper@bcom.org if they have any questions!
Thank you all so much!

One Step at a Time

Well August has begun, meaning in a very short time I should be on a plane heading to Thailand! Now I am going to admit I know the Lord has called me to Thailand and I know He is going to provide, but I have those moments every day where I look at my finances and wonder where in the world it is all going to come from! But then I hear Jesus say "Its ok just trust me." If nothing else that is the biggest lesson I have learned this summer, to trust Jesus in a way I have never trusted Him before. Oh how I have always hated not seeing the big picture not seeing the outcome, I always want to figure it all out step for step. But following Jesus does not guarantee we will be able to see the big picture, He sees the big picture and is guiding me! All I need to see is that next step that He asking me to take and to step out in faith. 
That step is to go to Thailand.........and I have no clue what He is going to do in that season of my life. He has done so much in this season I have had here at Grandview, that I am excited for what He will do in me in Thailand! 
Will you help me get there?! I need at least 6 people to be willing to support me monthly at $100 so that I can purchase a plane ticket! And I need to do that next week, crazy I know but the Lord will provide! Will you be the one who helps? Donate Now
Thank you all for prayers and support thus far! I am excited to continue this blog while in Thailand and keep you all updated!
