BBQ

Yesterday was such a good day. We are constanly blown away by God and how he uses people to help us out. He even uses BBQ...and it was really, really good. I consider myself an expert on eating BBQ and my very sensitive and refined tastes judge this bbq to be beautiful to the taste.

There two basic things about the day that really humbled us. One was that we made just over $2200! We were expecting around $1200. There were several peopl who voluntarily paid WAY more for their BBQ than the $6 we were charging. That was very humbling. So, with that amount we are roughly $500 away from our first goal of $7300.

So we are so thankful that God provided for us financially again and proved to me that my faith is pretty small....why can't I learn?

The second that blew me away was the people who served us. It is one thing to see money come in but it is such a humbling thing to see your friends give so much of themselves. Thanks to Neal, Joel, Hunter, Krystal, Walt, Andrew, Amber, Cory, Matt, Megan, Sara, Katelyn, Jimmy, who worked all day cutting meat, holding signs, setting up, cleaning up, serving people...YOU loved us well.

Then there are the pastors of Crossopint Church, Jason, Jeremy, and Ken who gave us free reign of the church facility and helped us promote the BBQ. Great friends and pastors!

Finally the Bennetts a.k.a "Slap Yo Mama BBQ", from Rock Hill SC. Jim, Annette, Samual and David (also a student at CLemson). They drove 2 hours, slept in the church parking lot cooked the meat, worked all day Saturday then drove home. THAT IS CRAZY! But it was such a gift of love towards us.

We are thankful. So thankful. And, just a little closer...
