Last Friday night, July 31, 2009 was a night that was such a victory for God! It was a night that proclaimed HIS restoration!! It was a night that glorified Him and lifted up HIS name, above all others! It was a night to celebrate that NONE of us EVER has to be an orphan, ever!! We need not live in fear! We can live in full confidence that HE loves us MOST!! MORE than any earthly parent, more than any spouse, more than any friend...HIS unfailing, everlasting LOVE, is the PERFECT LOVE WE SEEK!
I am SO happy to share that from the sale of the Gems merchandise, I was able to donate 85% of all proceeds, and I pray that God multiplies it for Elena as I know her need is great...BUT I know God is greater!! and I have seen Jehovah Jireh in my own life, so I know that HE will make a way for Elena so that she can bring the Light of Christ to Liberia!
I want to THANK everyone involved: Donnie on AV and his numerous hours of helping me set up, Al on sound (AWESOME FADING AL), Mary for all the decorating & design of the dessert area and baking, Joyce for manning the kitchen and baking, Callowhill Cafe and Karina for making the coffee, Nebin who helped out with the Gems table who was a total gem to me, Pastor Gustavo who supported my vision for this night, Cordie for all you do for me and for the cause, Michele for baking, Curtis, Donnie and Willie for tearing down and carrying the boxes to the car, Daniel for your prayers, Kerry Crespo for how you have equipped me to take the music forth and for enduring the countless hours of recording to get the CD done, Sharon and Dave for all your wisdom and encouragement (i love those jewelry boxes), AND for all who attended and supported Elena and I this night.
For me, this night was memorable for so many reasons -- but most of all - it was so awesome to be able to look out at all the eyes looking back at me, and feel the love you all were sending out!
Elena, though we are done with this particular fundraising night, your mission is rooted deeply within my mission...I will miss you when you go as your friendship means so much!
I just want to end this blog with a prayer OVER all who were there and attended and helped in any capacity ---
I pray BLESSINGS UPON YOU FOR THE SEEDS YOU HAVE SOWN, BOTH INTO ME AND ELENA AS WE BOTH SEEK TO WALK OUT, IN FAITH, GOD'S CALLING UPON OUR LIVES -- I PRAY GOD'S SUPERNATURAL POWER RAIN UPON YOU, REIGN IN YOU - THAT HIS SPIRIT BE POURED OUT UPON YOU, THAT HIS SPIRIT AND HIS HAND WOULD COVER YOU - I PRAY THAT AS YOU HAVE POURED INTO US, THAT GOD WILL POUR INTO YOU AND GRANT YOU GRACE, SUPERNATURAL UNMERITED FAVOR, IN ALL THINGS!
I love you all, but remember...God loves you MOST!!!
