{Day 181 (on the 5th day of Christmas)}

December 17, 2011

“On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me, five golden rings.”

I’m happy to have you “meet” Raquel today. I really appreciate her enthusiasm, heart for others, and willingness to jump into this project. 🙂 She is really sweet, fun, and stunningly beautiful and I am excited for you to hear from her.

Hello there! My name is Raquel. I live in the beautiful and amazing northwest. I am the second-oldest of 7 children, daughter to two amazing parents, friend to many and devoted bond servant of our LORD.
I met Miss Elaini a few months ago at the Portland Rebelution…I thought she was a crazy, amazing lady…and I wanted to join her. I found out about the 12 Days of Christmas idea she had via Facebook (yes, good things *do* come from that website) and I was so excited at an opportunity to help her out…and all those sweet children in India. So far, I have only raised $75…a far cry from $1,000…but I am trusting that God will help me reach that goal…and have faith that He can double – or even triple! – that amount.
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas and may God richly bless you!!

Thank you dear! It has been so great getting to know you better. I can’t wait to see how God uses you. 🙂

UPDATE!!!!! $42,044.90 😀 Will you please give $10 dollars today to help us get one step closer to our goal?

I follow “God’s Daughter” and “In the Spotlight Fashion”. She has such encouraging posts about purity! She has some really fun posts on movies and fashion, too. You look gorgeous Raquel!
YAY!! We’re getting so close to the goal!!!! Are you still going to continue the blog even after you reach $50,000, Elaini?????
