You know that feeling of total exhaustion you get after the completion of a huge project, but the filling of joy in your heart at the same time? That's me tonight.
The "official" National Cupcake Kids sale is done.
And how'd it turn out, you ask?
Well, first of all, it's no longer a National sale, it's an International sale! We had sales in Indonesia, two in Singapore and two in Canada.
My God is big!
Next...well, let me tell you a little story. I went to the twin's school picnic this evening and saw a girlfriend of mine who held a sale here in Atlanta. I walked up to her and gave her a big hug (I'm a HUGE hugger!) And this precious friend started to weep from pure joy over her sale today. Yup - that's it in a nut shell!
My God is so sweet!
Before I went to the picnic, my dear and crazy friend, Shelly, called me bubbling over with awe as to how many folks wanted to be involved in The Cupcake Kids and SixtyFeet. Yes, we did a specific ask to some friends, but most of the folks who did a sale this weekend did it out of obedience to God. Wow. Talk about humbling! We had about 120 sales across the nation and in 4 countries!! We are continually humbled that God would use us to do His work.
My God is mighty!
This weekend was a spiritual high for me. It is so awesome and inspiring to see God's people mobilize for a specific purpose. Each one of you that supported The Cupcake Kids and SixtyFeet in one way or another has blessed us!!! And I think I can be so bold in saying you were blessed today, too. And just think of those precious children in Uganda. They will surely be blessed!
My God is a god of blessings!
Oh, by the way, we have some uber-precious friends in Uganda right now who are preparing to have a cupcake party with the kids at "M". Can you imagine anything so sweet????!!!!
Let me leave you with this....no matter if your sale raised $13 or $3,000....In God's economy each penny is precious and will be used for His will and His glory. I love this quote from Hudson Taylor, "We have twenty-five cents...and all the promises of God!"
My God is a promise maker, and a promise keeper!!
