Donations started rolling in yesterday. At this point, we might have too much food (which I'm sure the people we're serving won't mind). There are a few things we still need (desserts, snacks for people to take back to their camps, sodas, sectioned paper plates, ice, clorox/lysol wipes, and jelly) but THAT'S IT!!!! I think God's teaching me something, even though I'm kicking and screaming the whole way through it. I had basically given up. Well, not really. It was still going to happen. But I gave it up to Him. Essentially, I threw my hands up in the air and said "Fine...you do it!" And He is!
We still need volunteers, starting Friday night up until 7:00 p.m. Saturday. It's gonna be hot, gross, and AWESOME. Heck it might even rain. I'm just really fired up to see what He does with this day. Let me know if you're interested in helping, even if only for an hour. I've discovered there isn't much of anything more humbling that being around people who are way worse off than you are.
On a side note, the financial aspect of this has become much more important to me in the last few days. While Pastor Bret was talking to my Papaw, he was ignoring phone calls and text messages that baby Rebecca Sue Barnard had passed away. The Barnard's are the family that we will be donating all of our extra money to. You can get more information on them at barnardkids.blogspot.com I really want to make that an awesome amount. This family's faith is something that should inspire each and every one of us.
