Preparation for the Christmas Party for women in the adult entertainment industry is well under way. We’ll try to keep you updated. Linzy (the mousketeer in the picture), Mary, and I had a great time
shopping for the children the other night, that is until we checked out (minor mishap). George sure was patient as nothing seemed to go right when he was checking us out (I mean, checking out the gifts for
us – however this should be written – just don’t read it the wrong way). It gave me a chance to talk with him about his faith. Don’t worry George, I’ll be back to say thank you again! With fifty gifts in three carts we’re lucky no one was in a bad mood behind us. I was disappointed I had run out of Christmas invitations to hand out, but also didn’t want to leave an impression in the moment that we’re the church that holds up the line. Down below you’ll notice all the gifts that have already been purchased for the women. Look at all those fun products! Yesterday Heather, Christina, Ellysia, Josh, and I met up at Sam’s to purchase the food. Two more days ladies and we’ll see you at the strip . . . LOVING VEGAS!

Only one more day to go until outreach day!
It has been a wonderful couple of weeks! I continued to be AMAZED at how God is orchastrating all of the outreach preparation. It is a huge blessing to see so many people using the gifts God has given them and how each little thing makes it all come together in a beautiful way. From willing volunteers to creative touches–from employee discounts to intentional donations–from follow-up phone calls to prayer–it is ALL spectacular when graciously and selflessly given to God. Thank you to all!
It was a joy to have my house filled yesterday and today with those working together to wrap all the gifts in beautiful packages. The best part was seeing everyone with sparkling glitter all over their faces! Today we completed the wrapping of 50 gifts for women, 26 gifts for men and 52 gifts for the children plus putting finishing touches on the 2 gift baskets for the house moms.
Please continue to give thanks and pray!
I am filled with a joyful and expectant heart as strive to keep in step with the Spirit (Gal 5:25 NIV).
