Blessings of God!

Well, as mentioned in my last post, I did end up taking a week off from flying. The intention was to clean the carpets at the church and hopefully make some money so I could continue flight training. I did not end up cleaning any carpets. I got caught up doing some other cleaning jobs at the church. So, needless to say, I didn't earn the extra cash I was hoping to. What I did receive though was $6,250 through the donations of God's people!!! Altogether, I have received $9,035 so far!!! I am extremely blessed and very thankful for God's provision! As people continue to give, I will be keeping any additional funds in a savings account to use toward my next steps in flight training. I presume that I will need at least $30,000 more dollars to finish the other certifications I need. That is a low number and it may end up being closer to $50,000. That is after the assistance I receive from the military.
Because I took that week and a half off from flying, I actually regressed a bit. It was actually very disappointing for me. It took me two days to get back in the swing of things. Because of that and some other formalities I was not able to practice take offs and landings on my own (solo). Hopefully, I will be able to get that accomplished this week. I was just reading some strangers' blog as he was writing about his first solo experience. I was getting so excited thinking about walking in his shoes...http://geekswithblogs.net/paulp/archive/2006/08/12/87806.aspxs
Exciting! God is good!!! Thank you to all those who have given financially and through their prayers. My appreciation goes beyond words!!!
