even the sparrow: October 2019

i love this event.

mostly because it brings kids home and helps families who do. that's the main thing---God setting the lonely in families as He faithfully promises in psalm 68:6

but after all that amazing main stuff, what i love most is The Working Together.

the people.

the different talents.

the gifts given and the sweet collaboration for a worthy cause.

honestly, it's hard to even begin to describe the army of individuals gathered around this goal—the people who freely give and passionately serve—wish i could bottle it all up. a few photos hardly hit the mark. i have such gratitude in my heart this monday and thank you is not nearly enough.

sure, i like being in charge.

my mom said she knew that about me before i could even talk. but i learned early on it is ALL ABOUT team work. teamwork is everything in events and, yes, in life. it's a hard lesson for (bossy) enneagram #3s like me. but i am so thankful God has shown me over and over again my need to rely on others ... and mostly on Him.

6 months of planning ... over $700,000 raised this weekend ... for the good of vulnerable children and for the glory of our very amazing God. praise be to Him.
