Goodbyes & Moving Days

Goodbyes are just hard . . .
gotta get in lots of hugs (my nieces, Bri, Dani, & Sam).
Love you guys!

Thank you, to everyone who gave me Starbucks gift cards this year!
Methinks I shall be able to sustain my habit in Siberia just fine!!!

Last visit, for this time, to Starbucks @ The Pike . . .
GREAT to spend it with an old friend Monica!

All 3 of our families moved at the same time!!!
Crazy!!! LOL! But it was quite the garage sale.

My nieces, Samantha & Danielle took turns in "the dancing box"

Siberia . . . It's a Done Deal!!!

Hello again to all –

On Thursday, December 31, 2009 @ 12:25 pm, I received this message from my leadership . . .

“Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: Kara Cusic has received final clearance . . . her target date for departure is January 30, 2010. Thank you.”

What an incredible moment!!!

I was officially over the 101% marker point early that morning, and by the end of the day it was more like 102%. Early December, I was still at 82% but felt such a certainty that I was to be finished and back to Siberia in January. God spoke a strong word to my spirit, and I am in awe of how His supply has come thru steadily, unpredictably, and crazy timely.

Every week during the 35 Day Countdown (Nov 28 – Jan 1), at some point in that week, I found that the numbers were marking EXACTLY where I should be for that week. How incredible to see such a large sum come together in such a short time. I know HE is God, and I somehow feel I should not be surprised, but I confess that this week will become a lifetime memory of the faithfulness of God.

Thank you for being such a steady team . . . you pray, you encourage, you give . . . THANK YOU!!! Tonight, I have sent the request for my visa process to begin in Siberia. Please pray for favor and timeliness with documents!

For Siberia,

Kara

Only 2 Days Left to the 35 Day Challenge . . . what a RUN! I'm @ 99% & only need $39/month more :-) How GOOD is God?!?

The 35 Day Challenge . . . 35 donors in 35 days for $35/mo = $1200/mo (aka: "me outta here & back to Siberia")

I’m Counting Down . . . . . . 35 days until the New Year.
If 35 donors commit $35/mo in the next 35 days
until the New Year, then I’m outta here!!!

That’s one a day!

If you have been considering, this is a perfect time to begin monthly support

to become part of the financial portion of SIBERIA COMMUNITY USA . . .

Thank you to all who give toward Siberia . . . it's because of you that I will return to the teens, tribes, and teams who are "waiting me" 16 time zones east of the Great NW!
