Well...you are here! My first ever blog entry in my life and I'm learning slowly how to put this together. If you are reading this you are one of those that are well aware of what Quincy and I are doing this summer. The tickets ($$$$) have been purchased which symbolizes our commitment to this adventure. Visas need to be applied for. Shots need to be taken....and the list goes on. The big one is our dollars that need to be raised for Rising Star. It is a little overwhelming to realize how much fundraising needs to happen to get us there. For two of us it creates a big challenge. I know we are up to it and will be blessed in unknown ways to make the deadline of April 29. Our first goal is to raise the first $1000 of the $3500 to officially reserve our spots. They are holding it as they know airplane tickets have been purchased.
Some people think we are completely crazy and others think it is wonderful. For me and Quincy...we just feel the desire to reach out beyond our countries borders and do something nice but not easy. Sometimes I wonder how I was blessed with such a good life and so many others have challenges that I don't think I would have the strength to get through. Don't get me wrong, life isn't perfect, but if I look beyond my day to day challenges and see what others have to bear, I am humbled. Stay posted, become a follower of this blog and a partner on this journey to India. The fundraising countdown begins. Let's get it started!
