God has really and truly blown me away with His provisions and blessings through my recent fundraising events. He gave me exactly everything I needed to be successful in my fundraising efforts.
“Now to our God and Father be glory forever and ever. Amen.”
(Phil. 4:20)
I tried to put my thoughts into sentences and paragraphs but it wasn't going so well. So I thought I would just by making a list of the provisions and blessings that God gave me for my fundraisers and see where my writings go from there. 
I thank God for them all!
Car Wash
I am thankful to God for:
-A great location! Thanks Cory!!! May God bless you!
-The volunteers!!! I am so thankful for all those who helped me before, during, and after the car wash! You are awesome and your help so greatly appreciated!!!
-Beautiful and perfect weather! The forecast all week was calling for rain on the weekend. I would go to work each day to hear people talk about the weather and how it was supposed to rain on the weekend. My prayer that week was this:
“Lord, you know I have the car wash on Saturday. You have prepared everything I need for this event to happen. You have given me a location, the date and time slot, lots of help and the supplies I need. Now all I need is sunshine. Please Lord, I pray in Jesus' name, bring the sunshine. Amen.”
Jesus brought the sunshine that day and I couldn't have stopped praising Him for that if I wanted to.
“And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
(John 14:13)
-The money that was raised!!!
-Rain. It rained at 1pm when the car wash was finished which made it an easy task to close up the event!
-For church family support and for support from my co-workers!
Yard Sale and Bake Sale
I am thankful to God for:
-Lots of donations! Thank you to all who donated items for the yard sale and/or to the bake sale! I would not have had this fundraiser without your donations!
-The Enns family and their generosity to let me use their place for my event and for letting me spend as much time as I needed the week before to prepare for the day of the sale! God bless you!
-Gorgeous weather! It was bright and sunny all day! After last week's answered prayer, I didn't even think much about the weather for the yard sale/bake sale event day. I figured that God had planned it all out for me and provided all I needed for the sale day to happen, of course He was going to make the weather great!
“Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;” (Phil. 1:6)
-Friends who helped with the sales and greeting people to make them feel welcome. I am glad you were willing to spend part of your Saturday helping me!
-The Close family and Faber family who let me borrow tables and a tent! They were greatly appreciated!
-My family!!! I couldn't have done this without your help and support!!! Thank you for pricing items, loading and unloading boxes, for setting up tables and the tent, for helping advertise the event, and for being there on the day of to help out! Big thank you to my mom for getting up early to take my sisters and myself to the Enns' house and to sisters, Val and Veronica, who helped be get everything set up on the Saturday morning starting at 6am! I could never have done it all on my own!
-The money that was raised!!!
-For church family support and for support from my co-workers!
Well, I think that about sums up my past couple weeks and the blessings that the Lord has been pouring out upon me through my fundraising events. He gave me everything I needed to make the events successful, and He supplied all my need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)
So to wrap it all up…Car Wash and Yard/Bake Sale total support raised for my trip:
just over $1,000.00!!!!!!
HALLELUJAH!!! PRAISE BE TO JESUS!!!!
"Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy
Because of Your truth."
(Psalm 115:1)
