Now, tonight, my team is ranked number 4 on the top teams list. And I'm not telling you this to brag, because it's not something that I did. It's something amazing happening. It's a miracle, in my book, that it's all coming together in such happy way. That I could recruit enough friends to fill out our team. That together we could fundraise over $1,100, before the event has even begun! That is a pure and wonderful miracle.
What's that verse about God having a bigger plan for me than I had for myself? Is it even a verse? I googled it and came up with a movie quote, but whatever it may be, that's definitely what it feels like to me. I had hoped to struggle along and maybe raise $500. I wasn't sure if there would even be more than 3 of us on the team. But is' all working out bigger and so much better than I ever dreamed. The verses below were the best I could come up with. If you know one that fits better, I'd love for you to share it.
If you have joined my team, and are helping to make this happen, or if you have donated to our Relay for Life team, THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping our team to help others. I am so truly blessed.
Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
A person may plan his own journey,
but the Lord directs his steps.
but the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs 16:9

You have done such a great job being our team captain and I can't wait to see how we end up doing after the event and I'm looking forward to next year. Thanks for starting the team!!!
Yay!! GREAT work and Praise God!! The verse that comes to my mind is from Ephesians 3 (vs. 20-21)
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."
Yes! Thank you, MD. That was the one that I was thinking of, just couldn't get the words right to find it... :)
I like the way the Message translates it:
God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
Glory to God in the church!
Glory to God in the Messiah, in Jesus!
Glory down all the generations!
Glory through all millennia! Oh, yes!
Oh, and THANK YOU Kiki, for leading this team with me. I'd have never done it alone, and I am so thankful for YOU and all your help too. :)
