I am completely overwhelmed right now! The Lord has been providing in so many different ways and I am totally blown away!! The Lord has provided right at $5000 in just 3 short weeks of fund raising.

Last Monday was the concert at Cpaws. Friends Ashley and Shelia Miguez, who teach in the School of Fine Arts at CBC, opened the show and rocked it out with “Me and My Bobby McGhee.” I loved it! Following Ashley and Shelia was Pete, Seth and Boudreaux. They blew the roof off with good ol “Walkin in Memphis” and some John Mayer. We ended the night with a great prayer time and a little Shane and Shane, “You Said.” It was a great way to end the evening! I was absolutely shocked by the support that was shown by ladies who cooked desserts and youth who offered their time to help sell the desserts and drinks and so many who came early and helped set up and collect money… I cannot say thank you enough!!! The Lord blessed those efforts and over $900 was raised!!

In about 6 weeks I will board the plane to South Africa and the excitement is building!! I have had the opportunity to share some stories in some amazing Sunday school classes at Crossgates and will possibly be speaking in some other churches in the near future. Please keep me in your prayers as the time continues to draw nearer!
