Quote of the day

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."
-CS Lewis

This is the email I received yesterday:
"Hey Stephenie,
I am pleased to write you today to grant your financial clearance. Congratulations!

I know you have worked hard and it is encouraging to see how God has blessed. I pray God will use you in great ways as you serve in New Zealand and I also pray He will do awesome things in your own life. Once again, congratulations! ..."

THANK YOU TO EVERY ONE OF MY SUPPORTERS!!! Please do pray for my VISA to get done (correctly) and quickly processed so I can be there beginning of January! Thank you to EVERYONE who has been alongside me for this leg of the journey. Stick with me as I am gearing up to head over to NZ soon!!
