I Believe He'll Make a Way

Money... why does everything have to cost so much money? For those who weren't aware, I'm graduating from Lipscomb in May. Due to some complications, I'm just now getting officially signed up for everything (I've never graduated from college before, so there were things I had to figure out on my own about getting officially prepared for graduation). Well, I just got slapped with a $195 "graduation fee." I understand that there are things that have to be handled financially, it just came as a surprise. So into my savings I must go. For me right now, that's a big chunk of change. Saving for this trip isn't going to be a piece of cake by any means. But I'm praying about it and practicing my faith. I believe He'll make a way. Whether I have to end up doing some odd jobs at the beginning of Summer, trying to sell stuff on eBay... whatever needs to happen, by the grace of God I'm going to try my best to make it happen. So... anyone who reads this, if you need help with anything starting in May, I'm your man (and Jennifer, I still owe you some yard work, so I'm not talking to you)!

I've given this some thought, but know that it may just have to wait until closer to time... but since I've got this blog, I'm going to throw it out there for anyone interested:

We've kind of been planning on taking my Grandmother's car (it gets GREAT gas mileage), but we haven't really asked her yet because she is very particular about it. She did let Jesse, Daniel, Kevin, and me borrow it for last year's Packers Family Night trip... about 1,200 miles total. But this trip is a little different... well, about 5,300 miles different. We're actually going to have to change the oil a few times on this trip. We need a very dependable vehicle and Grandma's car would be perfect, but she would be a nervous wreck for two weeks. So, here's what I'm getting at: if anyone has any suggestions or would be willing to let us borrow a dependable vehicle for 6,000+ miles in the middle of the Summer, please let me know (that's not asking much right? -sarcasm, yes). Other than my Grandma's car, we have direct access to no other dependable vehicles. So I'm gonna hit up my friends! If anyone would be willing to help, we would gladly take it. Renting a car isn't really feasible (it would cost a small fortune for us), but we would be willing to pay someone a bit if we could borrow a vehicle. Just getting the word out for some to think about. As big of a trip as this is, I know we're going to need the help and support of friends! Thanks ahead of time everyone for any help in making this dream trip come true!
