Blessings flow...

What an incredible day yesterday was. My fundraiser was such a success. It's amazing how God worked in ways I didn't expect. Just over 300 plates were sold, which was not as many as I had originally hoped, but in addition to the plates, I received over $600 in donations!! Added together it was the same amount raised as I had hoped for, plus, if we would have had more plates sold, I wouldn't have had enough food. Maybe one day I will remember that God knows what I need much better than I do! :)
As I stood in my church, for a moment my eyes filled with tears as I looked around and saw so many wonderful people that gave of their time to help me. Many used their gas to deliver plates, some took off work, a couple made sure I got the best savings on everything and some of them barely even knew me but came anyway. I am truly blessed beyond measure!! I also had several friends that worked very hard to sell tickets for me. This fundraiser wouldn't have been a success without every person.Thank you all!

Nadeah made it to Moscow...

Well Nadeah has safely landed :) Here are a couple more pictures of her trip.I really thing Jules' husband enjoyed his trip :)


In other news..the fundraiser is almost here. With the help of several others, I am selling tickets right now. We are hoping to have 500 tickets sold by Monday! I think it's going to be alot of fun actually! There will hopefully be alot of people coming to eat in. The hardest part of this to me is selling tickets. I have a hard time asking people. So far though, the Lord has blessed. Many people have volunteered to help. Kristie, my preacher's wife, has been a huge blessing. She has helped line up all the volunteers not to mention helped me organize everything. Couldn't have done it without her. Thank you also to everyone who purchased a ticket. Please keep praying that things will continue progressing smoothly and that the funds will come in as they are needed. I know that God will provide!
