I just want to share that God is awesome.  

When I heard about the opportunity to offer a one-day health clinic, I had no idea it would take eight months of labor to pull it off.  I thought, "A one-day event--that should be no big deal." I was so mistaken.  I hate admit that my attitude was not the greatest during some of the year's preparation for this event, but that is true. I kept thinking that Jesus tricked me into getting involved.   

But all that changed on the day of the event.  I still felt a bit like a fish out of water, but what I experienced that day worked wonders in my heart. I saw our team work with our over 250 volunteers from sixteen congregations and other civic organizations to create a great outreach that blessed many, many people.   

One guest did not realize she would be able to get new glasses after her eye checkup. When she was told this was the case, she pulled off the pair of glasses she was wearing, taped and wired together from long overuse. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Really?  I will?"  Our volunteer assured her that she would.

Another woman told me: "Brian, I had never imagined this was possible. For years I have been brushing these teeth and praying, 'Jesus, keep them from developing cavities,' all the while fearing that indeed they were rotting. Oh me of little faith! And today," she paused as the gratitude expressed itself in tears, "today I discovered that they are not rotting, they are indeed fine. And so along with a cleaning the dentist restored this other tooth. See?" she said, pulling up her lip to reveal a beautiful restoration.
