God is teaching me so much through this fundraising adventure He has put me on.  I received a pledge from an old friend that I haven't seen in many years.  She pledged $30 a quarter and sent me the check for the first quarter with a note saying, "I am happy to help and will enjoy being a Prayer Partner.  I'm going to start with this check and trust that God will help it grow."  My friend has been a single mom for many years and has struggled financially but, like the poor widow in Mark 12:41-43 who "put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny", she is giving what she has and giving with a joyful heart.  Jesus said, "This poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others.  They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything - all she had to live on."  Basically, I think that's what God wants from us.......all we have.......whether it's financial, spiritual, emotional or physical.......He wants all of us.  God is teaching me that when I give Him all of myself, He gives me all of Himself, filling me up daily with His strength, His wisdom, His enablement, His joy, His peace, His everything!  And I can tell you, there's no better way to live!  To God Be The Glory!
