Not one has been sold…

As most of you have read in the last few blogs, it has been a struggle to be home…difficult in so many ways, challenges I did not except to encounter upon returning home to… It has been a road filled with many emotions, ups and downs…

Little did I know the Lord had great plans to help heal my heart through headbands…….

 

The Lord prompted my heart about 1 month ago to start a small ministry called Headbands for HOPE. All the headbands, ear warmers, and bobby pins are handmade and ALL PROFITS go towards the prevention of human sex trafficking. As I prayed about if this was really what the Lord wanted he spoke yes’s and also said, “You will donate $1,000 by Christmas“…

When I heard this I had peace…As I told people these things many scrunched their faces up and said, “Hmm really…$1000 by Christmas, you know Emily that is a LOT of headbands…you will have to sell at least 100 headbands!!”

This entire headband making ministry was His idea and so I continued to have peace and just continued right on making those headbands along with MUCH support from family and friends!! With help we were able to make 65 headbands to have ready to go waiting to see how the Lord was going to use these…

 

 


One night my mom came home from bible study and said, “Come downstairs when you are done reading.” I didn’t want to go downstairs because I was all snuggled up reading , but I figured she had found a great deal on some headbands and was super excited! You guys all know how Dagmar gets when she finds a great deal 🙂  So I went downstairs to have her direct me to a table where I saw a check written out for $1,000…

… this woman heard about Headbands for HOPE and that all profits go towards human trafficking, and asked if she could make a donation. I have never even met this woman… she heard from the Lord, and she responded.

 

As I  thought about the girls the money would go to I smiled…I turned around and looked around my dining room….65 headbands lay all over the room and not one had been sold.  God in his amazing faithfulness fulfilled his promise.  God didn’t need the headbands to make the $1,000 he promised, He won the battle Himself. 

 

It made me think of Gideon…how the Lord asked him to prepare an army,  finally settle on the 300 men for battle. And what happened the day of the battle? The Lord won the battle, Gideon and his men never actually fought.

Also, I told you all I was reading my bible upstairs before walking down…the last thing I read was Colossians 3:15, “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” and guess what verse was big and bold at the top of the check…Colossians 3:15. Out of ALL the 31,000 plus verses in the bible...wow.

 
 
The Lord has now raised almost  3,000 dollars and it is not even Christmas yet 🙂

 
 

There will be times in your  life God will call YOU to walk in obedience and have faith WITHOUT sight that God will and can do what he promises. And sometimes God calls you to something “strange” something that will make people scrunch their faces, unsure of whether this can actually happen, and like Noah,  people  may not understand what the Lord has called YOU to. 

 

My encouragement to you if GO, DO, BE where the Lord wants you to be and do what he wants you to do. He will never let you down and he WILL fulfill his promises. He is not a God of empty promises. Walk in FAITH not out of SIGHT!
