I haven't posted on here for a while. Wow! It's been over 3 1/2 months! Where do I begin?! There has been so much that has happened that it would probably fill a book in itself!
Let me start off by saying that after a second surgery, I THINK everything is going to be alright. Keyword there being THINK. I am most definitely still praying that some of the situations that arose are going to heal better in time. God is the Master Healer and I know that He is hearing my prayers. It has been a long 3 1/2 months with the healing process and I am still not 100% there, but I have all of the faith in the world that I will be there soon.
The camper search ended today! WOO HOO!
I am SO thrilled about this! We bought one yesterday and one miracle led to another to where it is now going to be used for a friend of ours to live in. She had been in a situation and had been abused, leaving her and her son homeless. Not anymore!! They now have a roof over their heads that they can call their very own. That led to us getting a different one today; one that will suit our needs even better. God is so awesome! And the people who allow themselves to be used by God hold such a big place in my heart. That's what it is all about - helping each other out and treating people how we would want to be treated. I am so glad that God is in charge because I couldn't have planned all of this out if I would have tried! We go to actually pick up our camper this coming weekend. We are having to borrow a truck to do so because Robert's truck is not quite enough to do the job. So, it looks like a little more truck selling, swapping and whatever else it will take will be in the near future.
Now the fun begins! We get to start condensing everything and deciding what to keep in the camper, what to store, and what to sell. I really like the sell part. I am anxious to declutter and really get down to the necessities! I see a huge garage sale in my near future! The quicker that everything is sold, the quicker that the house can be gone as well. My dear friend Lori is a realtor and is ready to sell it now. I keep putting her off because I just can't imagine anyone coming into this house with all of the stuff that is in it. If I am selling it as a fixer upper, they need to be able to see what actually needs fixing up! Hopefully, before the next month is over, we will have it completely emptied and ready to go to someone else for their new path in life.
My friend Lori and I are working on another project that just popped up. We have formed ML Productions and are currently working on a huge Christian concert to be held in our downtown area in October. What started out as simply wanting to bring a group here for my son's birthday has turned into bringing LOTS of groups here for the entire community to enjoy and at the same time benefit both Haiti and SOMA (Greek for "body"), a new Christian club here at our local junior college (JCJC). I am so excited about this entire project. Rest assured, though, that I had NO idea how many details were involved in making something like this happen. Satan has come in on more than one occasion trying to stop this. That's how I know it needs to happen! Here is the video for the Grand Stage groups that are coming:
Exciting, isn't it? Woo Hoo!
We are calling the event "Rock the Block 2010". We have another SEVEN local groups set to perform. I know, with all of my heart, that God is going to be glorified in this event. I love seeing God move, and I can hardly wait!
I think I have bored you all to tears by now. I will definitely make more of an effort to keep posting. I was able to reunite with a dear friend of mine from the past and she has been after me to journal. Well, this is as close as I will come to that for now! I can type much quicker than I can write!
Wishing you all a wonderfully blessed evening. May you close your eyes tonight as you rest your head on your pillow and be able to feel God wrap you in His arms and hold you tight!
Many blessings to you all!
