Well, I had this dream a few days ago... I was driving a tractor trailer to the area that Katrina destroyed. I knew I had to do it. I didn't have a CLUE how (as I'm not driving for a company anymore and haven't in years). I called around... nobody was going down. I called the red cross. They only wanted money. I mentioned what I wanted to do. The lady said, well this guy called last week and he owns a trucking company, here is his number... so I called him. He said if I can find a place to park trailers, he will donate them... so now I have trucks.. nowhere to put them... I call my church.. they just want to donate money.. I feel like we needed to be proactive here and was suprised because my church is one that is out there with the people and VERY proactive... so I let it sit for a day or two and left a few messages and waited.
AND I got a call this morning...............
My church (big church!!) is parking a 53 footer (and if that gets full TWO or THREE, however many we need) and taking donations and we are going to drive those trucks down there OURSELVES and get to the vineyard churches in lafayette (our outreach pastor already called a number of people down there and he knows ALOT of people down there) and they are waiting for us.. will take care of things on that end for us... Next week we will park the trucks, put banners on them and advertise over the major stations here... (we have a few of our broadcasters in this area going to our church so they will put it on the news for us). Dayton Vineyard has stepped up to the plate again and I get to go along!!! We are going to get a team of people together and we are going down there! I can't wait! I'll put off school until January if I have to! I'm just excited to serve and go.. this SOOOOO rocks!!!
WOO HOO!!!! I feel like I've already helped so many people because I see where this is going! YEEHAAA!!!
