The Bless Back Project

Well James and I have had a very busy weekend so far. Yesterday we spent the day taking care of our "car issue" that we have had for the last few months. It was something that had put a lot of stress on both of us and we are very happy that we finally got things figured out. We had been praying about what to do and it was all taken care of yesterday. We ended up turning in all THREE of the cars to the Hyundai dealer and were given a horse and buggy to ride home on (haha James wanted me to put that)...no but we did turn in all three cars and ended up with a new Hyundai Sonata that is basically like the one we had but has more options on it...you must come try it out and we will even turn on your "Butt Warmer!" It was a hard choice for us to get rid of the other cars but we are very happy with our decision!

Ok now about the title of this post. Our friend Debbie has been asking us for months to go to church with her. We finally went with her today to Elevation church here in Charlotte. We have both commented that it was a VERY different experience then we were used to at church. It was pretty much like a rock concert first thing on a Sunday morning. It was definitely different but a very powerful church to say the least. We were extra blessed by having gone on this particular Sunday. The pastor decided rather then to do a collection he would give out a collection for the people to go do God's work with and to give to help someone in our community. James and I each got an envelope to open and have decided to pray about what God wants us to do with the money. We are VERY excited about the whole idea of the project and look forward to seeing what everyone does with the money. The church has asked us all to post on a website what we do with the money so if you want to check that out then the website address is www.blessbackproject.com . I have always heard about things like this happening on Oprah and stuff but never thought I would get to be a part of it!

Hope everyone has a blessed rest of the weekend and we will be posting soon with pics of the new car and from our trip to Michigan...back to school tomorrow, oh boy!
