WINNER, WINNER!

Happiest of Fridays everyone!

Last night our big Noonday Collection giveaway fundraiser to raise money for the kiddos at the Ngungwane carepoint in Swaziland ended.  And I just want to hug each and every one of you.  Shake you hand.  High-5 you. Fist bumps all around.  Express words of gratitude to each of you.  Another tight bear hug.

Our goal was $610.  This would purchase 5 tables and 30 chairs for the kids.  We held a Noonday party and friends and family and you guys bought lots of stuff…lots and lots of stuff and in turn, we were able to pick out free goodies to give away.  And then you donated.  You donated and donated and donated.  And I was floored.  Amazed at God’s goodness and His love and the way He alone can move and nudge people’s hearts.

We ended up raising a grand total of $2,890.

Thank you.  I really just don’t know what else to say, but Thank you!  Big giant thank yous.  Ginormously huge thank yous!!!

Josh Kelley and I wrote down all the names, cut them up, folded and put them in a big bowl.

And this morning I drew the winner.  Super congrats to Sherry Semlow of Illinois.  You should have an email waiting in your inbox!

God has been showing me more and more how He can facilitate and move and how we can be a small part of His works…how He can use us in small ways to do big things.  I hope we listen carefully for His pushes and nudges…I hope we are obedient…I hope we look for those opportunities for kindness and generosity and big love.  I want to be apart of whatever He is doing and I want to say yes!

Thank you for saying yes!

Happy Friday.
