What's my favorite number? Surely y'all know by now. If not, it's 3. I will be giving away 3, yes I said THREE copies of Radical Together that I got Pastor David to sign last Sunday. You can read the first chapter of the book here.
The fundraiser will run from through Mother's Day, May 8th. On the night of May 8th, I will draw 3 winners. It is possible for you to win 2 copies, or God can get crazy and have that bless you with all 3 copies. These would be perfect for gifts. The time I gave away copies of Radical, some of the winners used them to raise funds for their adoptions :)
As you all know, I serve Him in Uganda. I got there in December and oh. my. goodness. has He done some pretty incredible things since then. I realize that I haven't kept my blog current but life is just so crazy right now that it makes it hard to do so. I am in the States until the end of May so I will try to update you as my heart will allow. I am missing my family terribly and wow, do you guys that aren't following our journey even know about the changes in our lives as of late? WOW! It just hit me how much I have to update. Like, you won't even believe it. OK, so back to the fundraiser. I have been here for 2 weeks and was so excited for Secret Church last Friday. I went ahead and stayed the weekend with Melinda so I could worship Him with my faith family at The Church of Brook Hills on Sunday.I bought 3 books before Easter Service and went to stand in line to talk to David and get him to sign them. And just like last time, I stood there with my heart beating out of my chest. I had missed this guy terribly. God had used him in a mighty way for His purpose in my life. I wanted to open up and tell him what all had happened in the village. But I only had about 5 minutes. I didn't even think about WHAT to say because it wouldn't have mattered anyways. I would have forgotten it as soon as I started speaking. The last time I stood there with him getting him to sign books for me, I had no clue where I was going. God just told me to prepare to GO. No direction. No plan. Just GO. But here I was with direction. With a plan. With a whole life started in just a matter of months. I had one of those out-of-body experiences for what seemed like 5 minutes. And that's a long time when he could be available at any minute :)
All of a sudden, the person that was speaking with him was finished. I'd already told Melinda to get the iPhone ready to snap a pic. Something told me that she'd snag a good one. Annnnd she did. Here's our convo:
Me: OK, I have more books for you to sign. I'm doing a fundraiser to raise funds for our village, which by the way I DID move to. We built a school and found sponsors for 250 of the children in the village!
David: WOW! You were just here with me a year ago! You did ALL of that in ONE YEAR?
Me: Actually in 4 months.
David: Mouth hanging open. . . . Well, you can see the look on his face!

I left out the other details that I told him because if you're not following our journey on FB, you don't know yet. And now I realize that his facial expressions aren't THAT amazing because you don't know what all I told him. Oh, well. You'll find out soon enough :)
