I'm Moving!!!

Great news!! As of today, I've reached 86% of my support! That's $24,617.21! 

Just yesterday I sent out an update to let everyone know I was at 65%. Within 24 hours, God provided the support I need to move. He is so awesome and faithful! I get to move this Friday, August 17th, which is the day I was hoping to move!

Thank you all for your support and prayers. I feel very blessed to have so many people backing me up on this journey through faithful prayer and generous giving. I'm so thankful for all of you!

It's hard to believe that tomorrow will be my last day in Nebraska for awhile. The summer has gone by incredibly fast, and I'm so thankful I got to spend most of it with my family. This week I've been able to see many good friends one last time and was reminded of how much I'm loved and will be missed; there are so many people I'm going to miss, too. I wish I could see every one of you before I leave so I could give you a hug and a high-five! There aren't enough words to express how grateful I am for each of you and how excited I am to have you on my support team.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Prayer Requests:

*That I would enjoy my last day in Omaha with my family and get everything together I need to take with me
*Safe travel on the road to Tulsa
*Peace about moving to a new place and assurance God will take care of me
*Confidence as I meet new students and that I'd have great conversations with them - pray many of them will be interested in being a part of RUF!
*That I would find and connect with a new church quickly where I can develop meanginful friendships with people my age and older

Thanks so much for taking time to pray. Know that I am thanking God for all of you and praying your lives are filled with His blessings. I'm so excited to send you my next update from Tulsa!

Blessings in Christ,

Bethany

Trusting God, Waiting to Move

Good news! I'm now at 65% of my support goal - that's $18,377! I still need $5,822 more to come in before I can move. I'm hoping it comes in soon because I'd really like to move this weekend!

I have, for the most part, done all that I can. I've sent out letters, emails, and postcards. I've made phone calls, I've talked at churches. I've reminded (sometimes feels more like *bothered*) people multiple times to send in support. I really have come to the point where all that's left is to simply trust God to take care of the rest. I will continue to post updates and remind people to give, but I'm going to rest in knowing God is in control and knows who will help me get to Tulsa.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support! I can't do this without you, and I certainly can't do it without the loving provision of my Savior. He will pull through for me; I must be patient and let Him work. It's so hard to do when I struggle with control! Maybe that's exactly why the support-raising process is meant to be long, hard, and completely unpredictable - to remind me who is really in control!!


"Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen"- Eph. 3:20-21

August 9th Support Update

Dear friends,

I'm excited to let you all know that as of today, I have received 55% of my support goal! That's $15,807.21!! I am deeply humbled and grateful for all the support I have received. I'm waiting for some more gifts to come in, and once they do that will put me at about 66% of my goal! This means I have $5,363 left to raise before I can move to Tulsa!!

Classes start August 20th, and it's been my hope all summer that I could move to Tulsa by Aug 17th, which is a week from tomorrow! I'd been starting to doubt that moving on the 17th would be possible, but God has been showing up for me in unexpected ways and proving to me that anything is possible for Him!

Thank you so much for praying and supporting. Praise God for what He has provided already and pray that He will continue to be faithful in bringing in the rest of my support.

If you would like to make a donation to help me reach my goal, you can do so at www.ruf.org/donate (select my name "Trueblood-Bethany, Tulsa" from the Staff Member drop down menu). Thank you!!
