Sink or Swim

Today was the start of my third full week at The Dream Project. The last two weeks have been full of meetings with Julie, volunteers and supporters of TDP. I've also done a lot of organizing, you can't tell though. Literally every time I would get one box put away Julie would show up with at least two if not three more boxes of stuff! I'm excited to make my way through all the stuff and find it a home... even if it is the trash =) Today I did find some cool painting from Mozambique, so I hope to get those up on the wall.


I think it was two weeks ago now, we had a volunteer meeting. It was a really exciting night. That night was all about brainstorming and where TDP was heading. One of our volunteers is going to start sharing in Small Groups about TDP and trying to get people to partner with the 2010 campaign (TDP is trying to get 2000 people to give $10 a month). He is so passionate about sharing with Small Groups... it was GREAT!! We also received two checks that night totaling a very unexpected $5,000!!!!

Julie is on her way back to Mozambique. Good news is she can't bring any more boxes into the office, bad is she isn't just a phone call away. Well I guess she is, but I'm not sure how easy it is going to be to get a hold of her. I've been thinking of this day for a while and I am nervous but also very excited! It's time to stop talking about what I'll do once Julie is gone and do it.

I haven't had as much time to dig into my journal and share about the last year. I hope to be able to pull out some stories still, but if you want to hear more feel free to ask.

As always thanks for reading.

Usually I would say that if you have time to clean at work, you must not have enough to do, but this is just insanity!
