We Sit Amazed By You

Five days ago I shared with you Sarah's vision for Hoops of Hope.  I shared how we are amazed by this girl of ours.  Today I wanted to tell, our sweet friends, that we are amazed BY YOU!  Thank you to all of you who hopped over to www.hoopsofhoperaleigh.com and donated.  Thank you to all of you who reposted on Facebook.  Thank you to all of you have emailed us the most amazing emails of encouragement for Sarah.

When I posted on Thursday, Sarah and her team had raised around $2,400.00. That evening Sarah was wrestling with the idea of proposing to her team that they personally try to raise $4,000 for the event.  It seemed too much to hope for.  By the time of their meeting the next day, they were at $3,700.00, so the girls changed their goal to $5,000.00.  We may reach that today.  Praise God!

When I gave Sarah the latest totals, she started laughing and said, "I don't even know what our next goal should be!"  

No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him. 1 Cor 2:9

What should our next goal be?  What a good question for all of us.  It's so easy to plan small and dream in miniature.  But you my brothers and sisters have reminded me that our God is the God who owns the cattle on a thousands hills. He is not the God of small dreams, so we should not be a people of them. 

Thank you to each of you who have said yes to partnering with Sarah and her friends and joining them in working for the people of Hamuandu as they await their miracle of a medical clinic.  May it be built for them faster than they could ever have dreamed.  

If you live in the Raleigh area we still have a lot of space for participants.  Come by yourself, or get together a team and register at www.hoopsofhoperaleigh.com!  We'd love to see you on Feb 21st!
