{Day 193}

December 30, 2011

Let me just start out by being honest. I have so many words and thoughts bound up in my heart that I’ve been trying to get to come out onto this screen yet they wont budge. I’ve written this blog post and deleted it a few times now. You see I’ve been counting days, times, and…moments this year. This year has been filled with almost every range of emotions and it’s certainly been a year of change. Yet one thing, one Person has stayed the same and that is my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What is really in my heart is this: that he would receive all the glory and praise. I am so grateful to be his. He has been faithful, he is faithful, and I know he always will be faithful. I love him.

“I will give thanks to you, O Lord, among the peoples; I will sing praises to you among the nations.” Psalms 57:9

Only one more day left of this year. My dream was to raise fifty thousand dollars this year. I’m just a normal girl yet I do believe in miracles. Will you help make one happen today? Will you give to sweet darlings who actually really truly do need our help? Will you please, PLEASE give what you can and ask a friend to do the same? Even $5 dollars? Let’s watch these number soar shall we!?

UPDATE!!! $47,534.10 LESS THAN $3K to go!!! Can we bring in the remainder by the 1st of the new year??? Please post on facebook, twitter, or anywhere else you can think of! 🙂

Just put it out there on facebook…. praying that the rest of the money will come in! But even if it doesn’t quite… LOOK AT THE MASSIVE AMOUNT THAT DID!! God IS faithful!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 Who would have thought that a single girl would inspire so many thousands of people to collect this GIANT sum. 🙂

Dearest Elaini: I am so proud of your accomplishment in raising almost $50,000 for orphans. You are breathtakingly beautiful both inside and out. I’ve just made a $250.00 donation in your honor – since it is truly an honor to know you and call you my niece.

Much love always – Kathy

  Dearest Aunt Kathy, I can’t tell you how much this comment blessed me. Your words brought so much joy and gratefulness to my heart. In fact it touched me so much I cried. I am SO thankful to have you as my aunt and I feel so very happy to have you in my life. Thank you for all your support for me and for these orphans and for your generous donation. I love you very very much.
