It's God's Money

Towards the end of April we had a high school retreat. We were given the opportunity to take an envelope with a $5, $10, or $20 dollar bill inside. The money was God's money and you were suppose to pray about it and then use it in whatever way God wanted you to. After praying about it, my best friend Lindsey and I decided we would do a Bake Sale/Lemonade Stand to multiply God's money and use it in various ways to glorify him. We made a cute flyer to give to everyone who bought something or donated money to our "Goodies for Good Works" so they knew what their money was going towards. Lindsey and I stayed up until about 2 AM they night before and woke up at 8 to get our fundraisor (sp) started. After 5 long hours we found ourselves with $224. My $20 bill and Lindsey's $10 bill from our envelopes had definitely multiplied and we were so excited. The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 comes to mind when I think of the way our money was multiplied. The Lord simply told me and Lindsey to bring him what we had and he was would use it to help many. We hope to do 3 or 4 more Bake Sales/Lemonade Stands throughout the Summer and continue to raise more money. Below I've inserted portions from our flyer because I have no idea how to actually insert the flyer.

Ayden was born about 3 weeks ago and is currently in recovery in the PCCU. .He was born with HPLS (hypoplastic left heart syndrome). In layman's terms, the left side of his heart is grossly underdeveloped, which leaves the right side to do all of the work. He has gone through his first surgery and will continue to deal with this problem and have various surgeries throughout his life. His mom, Allison was both of our 7th grade Literature teachers. A portion of our donations while go towards helping
