Wow! What a good and faithful provider!

Sooo......It happened, it's finished- the long awaited for 2nd fundraising dinner which I was stressing out about! After sleepless nights and relentless prayers that God would give me the right words to say and bring in whatever funds He'd planned, I now look back at the outcome of last Friday night's spaguetti dinner, and I am amazed at how smoothly it went. I am so blessed to have such wonderful people in my life! I was so grateful for their commitment in helping put this together. Thanks to my mom for her hours of shopping at Costco for the dinner ingredients, thanks to my grandma for her tedious work folding napkins for the tables and finding the prettiest decorations and reserving the entire recreational center at her retirement home! Also, thanks to my longtime friend Rosie for her decorating skills and piano playing! Jewel played quite a big role, handling the donations and finally thanks to all my 25 guests who came and supported me morally and financially! You all are awesome! Anyone who couldn't come, don't feel to bad because the Lord knew what He was doing and He totally strengthened my faith. He helped me with my speech, everything turned out quite well and I am very happy to say that I raised $678!!! I am $678 closer to being able to go!!! I am still waiting on that next $5,722, but God keeps providing little by little and I just need to keep on trusting! Thank you everyone for your prayers! I trust and pray that in this time while I'm waiting on God's provision that I would learn whatever He wants me to learn here at home and I would continue to lay this dream I have in going to Central America with YWAM in His hands!
