Ephesians 3:20

I hope I don't see another piece of raw chicken for a very long time. Yesterday was the day I had been waiting on a for a few weeks, we did a Chicken-Q to raise money for my Thailand trip. Before the day even started yesterday we lots to do inorder to prepare for that long day. We successfully gathered 1,000 pounds of chicken (600 chicken halves), 22 gallons of slaw, 24 gallons of baked beans, 12 gallons of homemade BBQ sauce, 600 oatmeal cream pies, 600 rolls, eating utensils, foam go-boxes, 600 pounds of charcoal, and a lot of people to help bring everything together. It was the longest day of my life. Waking up at 2am and running on about an hour and a half of sleep was really tough! BUT everything turned out way better than expected. I had so many fabulous people there helping me! As I looked around while everything was going on, I thought about how much I was truly blessed. If you had been around me at all the past two weeks you know that I had been super busy with everything and stressed beyond belief. After everything was said and done yesterday I asked myself, why did I even worry? Do I not serve the God that is in charge of and made EVERYTHING? Of course He took care of everything!! At the end of the day I had made enough money to pay for almost every cent of the $3,800 total cost of the trip.

"With God's power working in us, He can do much, much more than anything we can ever ask or even imagine." Ephesians 3:20
