Here I am. Send me.

Wow, it has been two months since I last wrote on here. That is a long time. I will try to write a lot more from now on. A lot has happened in the past 2 months. My mother has gone through 3 chemotherapy treatments, I am almost done with my Fall 2010 semester at Northland College, and I am going on a 3 month missions trip in January. OOFDAH!

First things first, my mother is doing well. She is tired all the time, but that is what chemo will do. It drains her, but she still works half days 3-5 days a week. I think she is crazy for still working that much, but it doesn't really surprise me because she has always been a workaholic. It was hard seeing her without hair when I came home a month ago, but the chemo has been working and the tumor has shrunk considerably. I am going home in 3 days and I cannot wait to see her and the rest of my family. It is really weird how once I am within a week of going home, I start to get very stressed out. I want to go home, but I know it will be tough.

This semester has been crazy. Classes are fairly tough, but most of that probably has to do with me being distracted constantly. I am 3 weeks away from finishing the semester off. My grades are not as good as they usually are, but I cannot do anything about the past. I need to buckle down now and finish this semester out strong.

Once this semester is over with I am going home for my 3-week Christmas break. In January, I will be leaving for Haiti. I am partnering up with my friend Shane Mattenley and Mercy League International. I will be in the Delmas region in PAP I believe. If you are wondering what that is about, you can check out his blog at http://mattenleys-in-haiti.blogspot.com/ I will be back on here soon with information as to what I will be doing down there. So far I know I will be doing two specific tasks. I will be working in a school for street kids and I will be helping out with a discipleship program Shane set up for young men. I will be there for 3 months. Jan 12th-April 26th are tentative dates. I should have my plane ticket bought sometime next week.
If you are interested in supporting me financially, you can write the check to me Sean Kavanagh and if you put Mercy League in the memo we can get you a receipt so that your donation will be tax-deductible.

I understand that you may not have the money to help, but I am just asking you to consider. Money aside, I feel prayer is necessary. Please pray for my preparation and when I am there.

God is great people! It has been some chaotic weeks for me, but He has been with me every step of the way.

I'll be back on here real quick.

God Bless
