We had about 13 women on Saterday show up!! I demonstrated a one length hair cut and taught them how to properly shampoo hair! We will begin group cutting this coming Saterday and they all seem excited about that. We will be using women of the group for models and they will practice on each other! It will get more exciting the more we get into cutting but as always we have to start with the basics!! I would like to thank those of you who have sent shears and other supplies down to handout to the women and also for Ms. Joyce laying out a program for me to follow!! We are still in need of more shears so pray that the Lord will provide the shears or the money to purchase more of what we need. I am excited to be a part of this program myself and it has only been the Lord who has gotten us through it without any problems the past two weeks!! Please continue to keep us in your prayers!!
Also, as I have mentioned before, I owe a tremendous amount of money for this program. I have spoken at my church, sent out support letters to just about everyone I know and had a few fundraisers before I came here but have not been able to pay off what was needed, even from the beginning of this program in September. On top of what was needed for the program alone ($6500) I have had to have money to live off of and plane tickets. At this point in the program I owe $4065 and a ticket back home. This is very confusing to me and has been a struggle and burden the whole progam, I had even considered MANY times not returning to the program or leaving early due to lack of money. But I came back trusting the Lord to provide someway. It is coming to the end of the program and although I am not as stressed about it as I was I am having a hard time with it. God seems to have wanted me here for the haircutting ministry and it is a dream of mine to have lived in CR, but in order for me to live here and do His work I need the money. So it is confusing for me and a struggle to keep telling myself God is going to provide. And I know He will it is just hard to see since I came back time after time saying "ok God, again I am going back and having faith in you to provid the money". Please be in prayer for me in this area. I cannot afford it and neither can my family so God is going to have to do a miracle! Guess it is nice to vent sometimes though and be reminded He is in control and has it in His hands. Thank you to EVERYONE who has supported me back home!! Spiritually through prayer and financially!! Every prayer helps and every little bit of support helps - you have helped me continue in this program and been the hands of God in my life. You will be blessed!!
