{Day 174}

No one thought I would even make it to the $10K mark let alone anything above that.  Even my very supportive parents had their doubts about the goal (they’re so great that they never let on though till much later).  Yet in the last 4 days God has graciously brought in $3,000 dollars, for the sweet orphans, putting us over the $40K mark.  I may be a little odd but I’m not special.  I have my bad days just like everyone else and I am constantly needing God to help me every second of every day.  My body is weakened by health issues.  I did not do this project on my own and when I did try it didn’t go well… In light of that fact I share this:  2 Corinthians 12:9,10 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me….For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I am weak.  Without Jesus helping me I wouldn’t have come this far, but with him I have.  If you are weak in any way and feel like you can’t do anything please stop and reconsider.  You may not be able to do what someone else is doing but I bet if you really want to you will find something you CAN do.  You, dear reader can make a difference.

The 10.for.1o challenge is still on.  :)   If you want to take it just get 10 friends to donate 10 dollars for orphans.  I still really need 2 more lovely ladies who are willing to be fashionable for a cause!  It has something to do with the song the 12 days of Christmas.  :)   Check it out here.

Thank you everyone who donated!  UPDATE!!! $40,998.40  Anyone want to tip it over the $41K mark?  😀
