Summer Service Project Grand Total Announcement!

Hey everyone!

This won't be a long post. I wrote about my 30 day journey in trusting the Lord on yesterday's post.
But today is the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT DAY!

I started out one day, several months ago, bawling my eyes out, mad at God because He broke my heart for the children and families of Sudan and I felt helpless to do anything to help because my own family had been struggling financially.

But this morning, after a promise to God to trust Him for 30 straight days, for at least a dollar a day, I was on my bed again, counting up ALL the gifts that came in, this time jumping for joy and praising God!
And the GRAND TOTAL IS....

$380.00
So what will this money do for the 
Mission Feeding program?
Your generosity will allow Mission Feeding to provide food for 38 children for 3 months!!!

I AM AMAZED AND HUMBLED! God has been so good and faithful. And you, my friends, have been good and faithful as well. 

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for blessing these 38 kids and easing their mother's worry for a time. That blessing will come back to you.

I'm also in prayer right now, asking God how I can continue to support this program, moving forward. 
Will you help me pray about that and act as the Lord leads? Thank you so much!

MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL!!!

$30 for 30 Days Project Complete!

Wow! I'm almost speechless as I write this; closing out an amazing 30 days of trusting the Lord, when I felt the most helpless. And there have been a few things I have learned along the way.

-I've realized that we are never helpless. Even when we think we are the most weak we're still able, because that's when the Lord is most strong, and He says we can lean on Him for strength. If we are "helpless" to do nothing, it's only because we choose to. MAN! I can apply this to so many areas of my life, it's not even funny!

-I've learned that "little is much when God is in it." Have you ever heard that song? It's awesome! I encourage you to listen to it  here (one of my favorites). God can take our little and turn it into something great! Some have given more and some less, but the amount is insignificant. If someone's heart is pure, even the smallest "mite" is great in the eyes of Heaven, and will do mighty work for the Kingdom. I will have a GRAND TOTAL for you on Tuesday when I get back home (we are on vacation at the moment). I can't wait to see what each person's "little" did to become "much."

-I've learned that Jesus loves even "the least of these" more than we can ever know and I thank Him that He's given me (and you) a little glimpse of His heart for the hurting all over the world.

We often see the "starving kids in Africa" shows on the television and click right past it with the remote. We've seen the same pleas over and over and frankly some of us may be tired of seeing them. Who wants to be bothered anyway? Well, Jesus does. He is deeply bothered. No pain, sorrow, hunger, sickness, or burden ever slips by without Him knowing about it. He knows, and He cares deeply. So we should care too.

"Well, if Jesus cares so much, why doesn't He do something?" you may be asking. I've asked this question too. And the answer is, He is...by using you and me. We are to be His hands and feet here on earth. He's just begging us to stop for a minute when we're flipping through the channels, to look into the eyes of those hurting children and families and extend His love to them. I so wanted to do that, but I didn't feel like I could. So I just threw my hands up and said, "Oh well. Someone else will take care of it." But no, God wanted me to use my gifts, talents and resources this time. It was MY TURN! So, I simply said, "Yes." And you said, "Yes." And I know Jesus is so pleased. He is a multiplier. If He can do it with a few fishes and a few rolls, He can do it with our dollars to feed hungry families in Africa.

-I've realized just how blessed I am. You know, I've gone from literally turning the channel when I would see the stories of the "starving kids in Africa," to actually searching the different stations for the Life Today program, so that I could see them and stretch out my hand to say a prayer for them. As I did this, I would look around at my surroundings, my home, my comfy couch or my soft bed, my yard complete with blooming flowers, a big swimming pool, food in the refrigerator, clean water flowing from the tap, the cool, comfortable temperature in my home, even though the temp outside was over 105 degrees! I would be considered a very wealthy woman in the part of the world I am trying to help (Sudan). And now, more than ever, I feel so ashamed of myself for ever having complained about anything! How foolish of me! I am so thankful that I live in the United States. With all its problems, it's still the most generous and blessed country on the planet and we have it so good here. Even if we are poor and can only afford ramen noodles 7 nights a week, we are luckier than most in the world. Don't get me wrong. I get down about the economy and how rough it is for families to make ends meet too. But it's only rough because my "standards" are of that of the wealthiest 2% in the world. I'm not trying to preach politics right now. I'm just speaking for myself. I gripe and complain because I can't buy steaks at the grocery store, when most of the world's population gets by with WAY less and they make do with very little, let alone, steak! It just kind of puts things in perspective, you know? So, the next time I have something to complain about, I'll just imagine what it would feel like to have my little corner of the world magically picked up and dropped down in the middle of a little Sudanese village. What  would my complaining sound like to them once they got a glimpse of prosperity like they've never seen before? CRAZY! THAT'S WHAT!

-I've learned that people can be so good. I've received so many words of encouragement and have seen people ready to just jump in, without hesitation' to help. I'm so proud of the people who said, "I don't have much to give, but I can do something, so here is a dollar, I know God can use it to make a difference." Wow! How precious! And I've even had a heart for those that I have reached out to who, for whatever reason, chose not to participate. Maybe fear or distrust or skepticism got in their way. Or maybe they just overlooked my call or email and forgot! The point is, it's not my place to know or to judge. I wouldn't have reached out to them if I didn't already know how wonderful they were. So, I've just had to send them blessings and move on...no hard feelings. It's been a gift to be able to do that.

-I've seen my daughter begin to understand what it means to be "blessed." One of her favorite topics of conversation lately is how blessed she is to have food, clothes to wear, a nice house and hospitals to go to when she's sick. She knows that we are helping children who are hungry and in need and I've seen the concern in her eyes. It's been a joy to my heart. I hope I'm teaching her that she can be a light in a dark world.

-And last but NEVER least. I've learned about the absolute faithfulness of God. He never asks you to do something without having already made a way for you to complete the assignment. He has provided so lavishly over the past month that I'm speechless. I give you glory Father for your unfailing love and for using a nobody like me to make a difference way over on the other side of the world. You placed such wonderful people in my life with such big hearts who have blessed my socks off with their generosity and willingness to help. You are oh so good and I give you all the praise of my heart.

I can't wait to get home and get a grand total to share with you all! See you Tuesday!!!

Pray!

Day 27-My Husband's Birthday

Happy Birthday to my husband.

Today I thank God for helping you find your way to me. I love you more than you know. I can't wait to see what this year has in store for us as we move forward...together.



And today's dollar came from MORE CHANGE!
Can you believe it! I have a mint in loose change around this house! ha!

Day 26-The Need Is Urgent!


I just got an email from Life Outreach International explaining that right now, the need in South Sudan is urgent.
Please watch these videos, one from James Robison and one from one of the missionaries right there in the field. The children are literally climbing over top of one another to get food.
Watch here.

This just breaks my heart.

If you'd like to donate right now, go to my $30 for 30 Days website to donate any amount online here.
My project is set up to help children in the Sudan specifically, so if you give, your gift will go straight to them.

Thank you so much and keep praying that God will bless our giving. I'm not sure where my dollar is coming from today, but I know God will provide to those with open hands who are ready to give it right back.

Days 23, 24 and 25

The past couple of days, my dollar came from extra change lying around. To some, that may sound like I don't have a lot of money to give. But to me, I see abundance.

We really are so wealthy in this country.

A few pennies in other parts of the world would seem like treasure. But to us here in America, they seem worthless a lot of times. As a matter of fact, $10, which is equal to 1,000 pennies, feeds a child in the Sudan for 3 whole months! Kinda makes you want to put those pennies to good use!

And today (Day 25), I received a $30 check in the mail from someone I don't know named Susan. Later, however, my sister informed me that it was a lady whom she worked with that heard about my project and wanted to help. WOW! Thanks Susan. That's incredible!

So, only 5 days left! You can click on the video to your right to see what I'm raising money for and you can click my link above that to donate online if you wish.

Day 22- Pool Party

Today's dollar (actually $3) came from a bunch of college kids that invaded my pool. I've never met most of them, but they were all friends of my sis-in-law, Charis and needed to cool off after 24 hours in dry, dusty, 90 degree weather at the Ichthus Festival. They're camping out and were just about parched. We were happy to give up our pool to these guys and they couldn't have been more appreciative!
I mentioned my project and the ones who had money were more than happy to add a buck to the cheese ball jar. How cool!

I've found that for the most part, people are happy to help each other...





I mean, look at this teamwork!
FUN! FUN!

Day 20 and 21

Day 19- Found a dollar in my pocket...
Day 20- Collected a dollar in change.
Day 21- Had a dollar left over after breaking a $5.

I am so encouraged by what is happening in the big plastic cheeseball jar from Walmart. I've filled it with the cards, letters, dollars and checks from you wonderful givers all across the country! In just 10 days, I'll be able to give you a big ol' praise report on what God has done! I can't wait.

Day 19-Getting Ahead of Yourself and a Song

I woke up this morning with an agenda. I had on my mind what I needed to do, to make things right, to make  life easier, to fix everything.

One thing I'm learning about myself is that I am a fixer. When things are going wrong, my brain starts devising and scheming and plotting trying to figure out a solution. When I can fix something, I get a little rush of excitement and feel powerful. I like taking care of ugly situations for people to make them feel better. So, this morning, I had on my mind that I was going to do that very thing...work to make it all better.

But God had other plans. All morning, while devising my plans for the day, I just felt "off." Have you ever felt like that? Well, I've felt like that enough to know that God is tryin' to tell me something, so I better listen. And today it was, "Chill out!"

He didn't want me rushing off to make it all better. He wants to make it all better and wants me to wait on Him. Ick. I hate waiting. But I'd rather wait on God than get myself in a big ol' mess trying to rush and do things my way...I've learned that lesson the hard way too.

So, I took a deep breath and just stayed put. "Be still and know that I am God." Is what I heard.

Ok God...I will.

And for two wonderful, generous givers, Emily and Kathy, here is a song for you. Enjoy!

Day 18- What is Your Why?

A few years ago I learned from a good friend who is a successful entrepreneur the concept of "finding your why." Which just teaches you to get down to the real reason why you do the things you do. If your why is big enough, it will cause you to really work hard at whatever it is you're doing.

So, why am I doing this service project? What is the reason behind me stepping out of my comfort zone and working to raise money for folks I've never met, for an organization I've never worked with before? I could be filling the first weeks of my summer blogging about what an amazing time I'm having (seriously, this has been one of the most enjoyable summers on record!) and about the places I'm traveling to, or the yummy summer recipes I'm cooking up. Instead, I'm talking every day about giving to help starving children in the Sudan. Why? The real reason, for me, is discontentedness.

The day before the Lord spoke to me about believing Him for $30 for 30 days, I was lying on the couch with my husband having a discussion about being discontent with my life. That, while I was happy, I was missing something and needed to find out what it was. I just didn't feel like I was serving any purpose. I remember yelling out in frustration, "God, give me some purpose!" Then, the next day, He said, "Here ya go...have some purpose!" He turned my discontented, bored, sorry attitude into the desire to follow His lead and love the unlovable, feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty and remember the forgotten....to take action!


And what a ride it's been! Every day I wake up wondering what will be in my mailbox or show up on the website where people can donate. The encouraging emails, the facebook messages, the dollars from widows and checks from friends and family. It's all been incredible! Just today I received another $7 from Kathy who just wanted to donate a dollar for every day of her son's birth week because she was so thankful that he had food to eat everyday and that he was healthy and happy. Is that not amazing? I would never have learned such a lesson of thankfulness and gratitude if I had not been willing to step out of my discontent.

From lying on my bed, sobbing from hopelessness that I couldn't do anything to help those poor, hungry Sudanese families, to now having real hope that I, with the help of others, can make a difference, just blows my mind.

And there's still 2 weeks left to go. What can God do in two weeks? Last night, I dreamed an old boss of mine wrote a check for 6 million dollars! So hey, God, if that's a sign, just wanted to let ya know that my hands are open...if you want to place 6mil in them, I will gladly pass along every penny to help feed those children! Wouldn't that be incredible?

So that's my "why."
What is your "why?"

Day 16 and 17-His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Day 16- Woohoo! Wasn't sure where my dollar was coming from last night, but in the 11th hour (literally), a friend of mine, Linda, gave $2.00 online and then another friend, Cindy gave $30.00! The people of God came through and that thrilled my heart!


Day 17- I have a dollar in my pocket left over from some change I received after purchasing a fast food meal today. It's going in the jar!

If you're not sure what I'm talking about, go here to read about my summer service project to raise money for Mission Feeding, which is working to feed hungry children in the Sudan.

We are now at the halfway point and God is proving faithful to provide my dollar each day! If He gives me more than that, it goes into the jar and I start all over the next day believing for a new dollar. I don't save the extras to provide for the next day. Each day I'm believing for a new, fresh miracle, just like manna from Heaven...and He's providing!

So, here are the current stats...

Received- $179.00!

Goal- $1,020

Needed-$841

$30 Givers- 5 out of 33

Needed- 28 more

Dollars for the day needed- 14

Give online at http://my.ambassadorsforlife.org/campaign/angiehoward/
Or email at angiehowardmusic@gmail.com for my mailing address.

This song is for my cousin Deena, and my friends Linda, Cindy and Beth.
Thank you for giving so beautifully.

Day 14 and 15- My First Online Donation!

Day 14- I checked the mailbox and oh well, no dollar. I figured I'd have to start digging in the couch cushions because, as I mentioned yesterday, I've scraped together just about all the loose change I can find.

But a few minutes later, I checked facebook and my cousin Deena informed me that she donated $10 at my Ambassadors for Life site online! She was disappointed she couldn't do $30, but I let her know that $10 feeds one child in the Sudan for 3 whole months! That $10 means EVERYTHING to that child for those 3 months. So, my dollar today + 9 more were virtual! Too cool!


You can donate online too, just go here and click $30 for 30 Days and then the "donate" button on the left.

I can hardly wrap my mind around how this organization can really stretch that $10 to do so much, for 90 whole days, but they do. And to think, I just spent $10 today on ONE lunch for my daughter and myself.



                                                                                                       Photo from lifetoday.org


Day 15- I have not received a dollar today online or in the mail, but the day's not over! My husband got paid today, maybe he will give, or maybe, in the next hour and a half (it's 10:30 pm now), someone will donate online, or maybe even come knocking at my door with a dollar in hand. Who knows? God is able to do anything! And He is faithful to keep His promise that there will be a dollar in that jar by midnight!

Thank you Deena and whoever my still unknown giver for tonight is, I will have a song for you and for another friend tomorrow (I'm still learning it!).
Have a great Friday night!

Day 12 and 13 "I Have a Father Who Can!"

To be honest, I've just about collected all the change around the house that I can.

So, with our budget pretty much spent, I was wondering where my dollar for the day was going to come from. But yesterday, a sweet little card with a dollar in it, came through the mail from my friend Meghan. She lives here in town and I used to go to church with her when we were much younger. She has a cool blog where she shares about her weight loss journey (and she's doing AMAZING!) here.

The Lord provides beautifully and faithfully.

So, this "serenade" is for my sister, Amy, my blog friend Nan and Meghan, Thank you ladies for your sweet support! You have blessed my heart tremendously!

Day 9, 10 and 11

Sorry. Blogging got away from me this weekend.

But God has been oh so faithful!

Saturday (day 9), my sister came through with a gift of $30 in the mail and a sent a new dress for little G to boot. Thanks Sissy! Love you!

Sunday, (day 10), some good friends of ours were in town and also contributed $31.00! Thank you so much! You know who you are!

And today (Monday, day 11), I received my dollar for the day in the mail from Nan at "Mom's the Word" who gave it as a way for my daughter to earn money to give. I love that! She did a blog post about it today as well...go check it out here.

I owe all these wonderful folks a song or two! I will have that for you tomorrow!

Thanks everyone!

If you want to donate online go to my Ambassador for Life page.
And, if you want to send your contribution through the mail, I will be glad to give you my address. Just email me@ angiehowardmusic@gmail.com

Day 8: Another Day, Another Dollar!

So, I hope you enjoyed yesterday's song (click here to see it), the old hymn, "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."

Today, the Lord provided another dollar...actually 2! A sweet friend from my college days as a music major at Morehead State University, sent it in. Her name is Rebekah, but in school, we called her "Sunshine." She had a lovely singing voice as well and always walked around with such a happy smile on her face.

She was my ray of "sunshine" today, so this song is appropriately dedicated to her! Love you Rebekah!

Day 6 & 7: Blessings, Left and Right, and a Song

I'm combining two days of this challenge into one post, because quite honestly, I didn't feel much like blogging yesterday. It was a rough day, so I had other things on my mind.

I know when we're trying to do good work for the Kingdom, we come under attack, and boy have I ever! But the good news is, I know whose team I'm playing for, and His team always wins!

Take yesterday (Day 6), I was wondering where my dollar was going to come from, but trying not to think of it too much. I was praying all day, not for the project, necessarily, other, personal things. But at my worst hour, God came through with a blessing that turned my attitude around in an instant!


In the mail I got several neat surprises! For one, my mother sent me a little package in the mail with a new dress for my daughter (cute) and a beautiful purple suit (it's folded, so you can't see the dress, but it's NICE!), that my sister bought me (she's so thoughtful and sweet!). I had wanted it for Easter, but it was $79.99, on sale from $99.99! So that was a big NO! But she put it away on hold (she works in that department store) for when it went on clearance. So after the clearance price and with her discount, she bought it for $8.00!!! Can you believe that? WOW! What a blessing! Thank you sissy!

Then, I got a couple other great surprises. One was a sweet card with $2.00 in it from a blog friend who is also a widow. One dollar was from her, and one was from her son. She expressed that even though it was a small "widow's mite," every little bit helps. And she is so right! That gift is certainly the biggest in the whole jar! Thank you Kathy...that was a treasure!

I also got another gift from a good friend from Knoxville, TN who sent a check for $31.00! My first $30 supporter! Only 32 left to go to reach our $1,000 goal! Wow! You and your family are amazing Christy! I know that with your family, you're on a tight budget like we are, but you managed to dig deep and give anyway. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

THEN, at 10:30 at night, there came a knock at my door and a good friend from my Life Group showed up with bags of groceries for us. I had asked for a ride from her to go get bread and pull-ups because I didn't have transportation. But she did even better. She came through with pull-ups, bread, milk, eggs, juice, mac-n-cheese, cereal, and other things. I was blown away! Thank you too Angie, for being my angel last night and for blessing my heart!

So, God showed up, BIG! His people were open handed and willing and were His hands and feet to me. I love you all!

Then today, Day 7, another miracle! My friend's (who brought the groceries) husband wanted to help me out as well. He knew that my other car wasn't running, and all it needed was a battery (last week, someone else gave to help us fix the big problems it had...wow!!!), so he wanted to bless us with a brand new car battery and install it for us. I was like, "What?" That is crazy! Do you ever just feel bombarded...literally showered with blessing? It reminds me of the verse, "His blessings will come on you and overtake you..." (Deut. 28:2) Which means, the blessing pretty much jumps on you and knocks you down!

And get this...this is the best part. When he came back from purchasing the battery, he hands me $20 and said that he literally found it in the Walmart parking lot! So, I took a dollar from that and put it in my jar! God provided again!!! Now the car is up and running and I had money to put gas in it to boot!
UH-MAY-ZING!!!

So, for my first $30 giver, Christy and for that precious "widow's mite" from Kathy, here is a song that speaks to how I'm feeling today....

Day 5: $30 for 30 Days and Some Prayer Requests

I am 5 days in and feeling discouraged today. I know God is going to do what He promised, and that is provide me with a dollar every day for 30 days, so that's not why I'm discouraged...He is doing that.

My heart is heavy for a couple of reasons. One, my good friend Shea at Whaley Wonder is going through the battle of her life because her 5 year old daughter has spinal cancer and is undergoing treatments right now.

My friend is being so brave and is so at peace, I don't see how she does it. She gives all the glory to God and is trusting Him completely. I've been thinking about her all day and praying for her, and asking others to pray for her.

But as soon as you start doing good for the kingdom of God, what happens? You come under attack. So, I'm not going to pretend that things are perfect here in my own home. They are not.

Please pray for me and my family. They are my world and I love them with all my heart. Life just gets messy and ugly sometimes, so that's why I'm down. But then I think of my friend Shea and her daughter and of course the Sudanese families who are picking leaves off of trees for food and scrounging together a handful or so of wild nuts for a whole day's meal, and I am humbled.

My problems can not even be compared to theirs. So I will keep pressing on in prayer for my friend and I will keep trying to raise funds for Life Outreach and I'm going to keep interceding for and fighting for my family. The enemy is not going to win.


Would you also be willing to help pray for Shea and her daughter? They could absolutely use your prayers!

Also, if you would like to be a part of giving to my $30 for 30 Days project for the Sudanese people, you can give online at my personal project site, or you may email me directly @angiehowardmusic@gmail.com to request my home address so that you can send your donation.

And of course, please pray for me and my family.
Thank you all. :)

Day 4 and I Get To Announce My News!

I got my dollar again! God is blessing me right now because of a little bit of "hope and change." Spare change is my provision right now, but I'm wondering what God will do once I've scrounged together the last bit of change that is lying around the house.

I am so happy to be able to announce (I had to wait on their approval first) that I am an official "Ambassador for Life" for Life Outreach. This means that I am volunteering to raise money for their outreach program, "Mission Feeding" and that they are partnering with me in my efforts. Too cool!

I found out about this program while browsing lifetoday.org, looking for a way to be able to get receipts to the people who donate to my $30 for 30 project (I will be keeping a record of all the donations and will be submitting them to Life Outreach and they will send you a receipt for your giving). Not only did I find that, but I found that they have lots of people who do fundraisers all over the world and that they support you by sending you materials, fliers, bracelets, posters, pretty much anything you would need to help you in your efforts.

But the best part is, they set you up with your own website so that people can go there to donate!!! And when you donate online, they send you a receipt for your giving.

Everything is done with the utmost excellence, so you know that when you give, it is going where you intended for it to go.

So, for those of you who want to keep your giving secret, you can go directly to the website and give with your credit or bank card. Unless you designate it, I do not see who gives, or any of your information, all I see are the amounts given. But if you choose, your name and the amount you gave will show up on my home page. But if you want to keep your giving secret, I understand that too. :)

Here is my website



Once on the page, click on the link that says, "$30 for 30 Days," then click on the blue button on the left that says, "Donate to my campaign," then just fill out your information.

I'm so excited to be able to provide a quick and convenient way for you, my friends to be able to donate. But if you still just want to send a donation through the mail, just email me and I will be happy to give you my address.

Many blessings and THANK YOU!!!! 26 more days to go and I have 4 dollars toward my $1,020 goal. God is faithful!!!

If you're not sure what in the world I'm talking about, go here to read about my fund raising efforts for starving people in the Sudan.

Day 3...Another Dollar from Spare Change and A Note from Someone Who Wants to Help

Hello my friends.
What a nice Sunday it was here in central Kentucky. Blue skies, cooler temps, a slight breeze and lunch with a friend visiting from out of town. How blessed we are here in America. Sometimes, I think we get so wrapped up in our own hardships that we forget that we live in the most blessed country in the world.

God is providing my dollar today through more spare change. Gosh, there is a ton of money just lying around this house. And the funny thing is, I hardly even notice it til I go looking for it! Thank you Lord for the abundance!

I also got this note from a friend who wants to help, and I thought it was just perfect

"Hey Angie. I'm sending a check for $31 tomorrow. I felt led to send our $30, plus be your $1 for whenever. I'm praying your project is a huge success!! Pastor preached on how God will always bless the giver today. And that He creates opportunities for us to show we will give so that the door is open for Him to bless us. Thanks for the opportunity to give." 

WOW! I never thought of it that way! But I'm just a vessel God is using. He is providing the opportunity. I'm just the messenger I guess.

Have a great evening and I'll see you tomorrow with some cool news (I hope).

Day Two...Spare Change

Today God provided my dollar in the form of 4 quarters from the tray my husband empties the contents of his pockets into every evening when he comes home from work. Do you, perhaps, have spare change lying around  that you'd be willing to give in the next 30 days (well, nearly 27 now)?



Each day I'm asking Jesus to multiply my dollars the way He did the loaves and the fishes. He took little and made it great to FEED the multitudes. And isn't that what we are doing now? Taking what we have, offering it to Him and trusting Him to multiply it to feed hungry people. WOW! So awesome to get to be a part of this modern day miracle!

I'm so excited to tell ya'll about something on Monday, but for now, I'll just keep quiet because everything isn't in place yet.

See you tomorrow...Day 3 of 30. Woohoo!
