BOBBY HAS A FAMILY!!!
COME ON PEOPLE...
LET'S GET HIM OVER THE WALL
(I am as SHOCKED as can be.... whoever is adopting him had better spill the beans fast!!!)
When we started this Giveaway we needed about 27,000.00 to reach my goals for each child and family.
I had 'dream' goals but getting everyone to the first benchmark was my top priority.
$27,000.00
I LOVE playing games that involve strategy and thinking. I tend to do very well in them.
In fact I can be rather cutthroat when it comes to playing games!
Just ask Rob.
Can I just say that if this giveaway was a game and I was supposed to play it according to my 'brilliant' strategy, then we may have reached 27,000.00.... and that, my dear friends.... is about all we would have done.
THANKFULLY, Because I was not in charge....
As of this morning....
WE HAVE RAISED $45,745.00
IN THE MOST UN-CONVENTIONAL WACKY STYLE POSSIBLE
WE HAVE RAISED $45,745.00
IN THE MOST UN-CONVENTIONAL WACKY STYLE POSSIBLE
I marvel at how these Giveaways NEVER EVER go the 'smart' way. Conventional wisdom would say that once someone meets a benchmark - you stop giving to that one. If I had organized the Giveaway and could have controlled the money coming in that is how I would have designed it.
THANK THE LORD YOU DIDN'T FOLLOW MY STRATEGY!
THANK THE LORD THAT THIS GIVEAWAY WAS HOLY SPIRIT DRIVEN AND NOT JULIA NALLE DRIVEN!!
Here's how bad I fail.
This is my confession.
On Saturday I was stressing about how much money still needed to be raised to get everyone to their benchmark. I was trying to strategize everyone over the wall.
In the midst of my worry I get an e-mail from a SIMON supporter. She wanted to offer a $300.00 matching grant to increase his grant account.
I immediately sighed.
I did. I confess.
Hanson. Porter. Aubree. Jason. Bobby.
They were not over the wall.
Simon was.
I wanted the person to give it one of them. I didn't say this outright but those were my thoughts.
I'm being honest here.
And here is where I am really ashamed.
I turned the matching grant down. I was too overwhelmed and too weary and too afraid.
I was afraid.
They were gracious and understood but after I turned it down I started feeling guilty. Holy Spirit guilty. The kind of guilt where I knew I was limiting God.
When I wrote yesterday's post on Sunday morning I was tempted... tempted to write Simon in....But my fear was greater than my faith. So I kept quiet. Despite the guilt. Despite the whispering.
I wish I had listened.
I wish I had allowed that whispering to overcome my fear and lack of faith.
On Sunday afternoon - Simon's grant account jumped all over the place. People gave and gave and gave to him.
He gained $400+ DOLLARS without my saying a word about him.
DID YOU READ THAT??
I am so ashamed.
If I had accepted the matching grant than he would have had $300.00 added on!!
I am ashamed that I didn't fight for this boy. He needs a family and I short-changed him.
God humbled me yesterday.
I'm not short-changing him today.
He has a $300.00 matching grant that needs to be matched.
We have met every single match offered in this Giveaway.
Barton met his match Frank met his match
Bobby met his match The Taylors met their match
The Unroes met their match The Johnsons met their match
The Collins met their match Simon met his match
Porter met his match Darren met his match
Hanson met his match Frank met his 2nd match
Jason met his match Angela and Jon met their match
Today it ends.
Let's go out in style.
Follow the crazy strategy of the Holy Spirit and get ME out of the way.
All of our families have cleared the $2,000.00 goal.... Let's not stop there!!
All of our families have cleared the $2,000.00 goal.... Let's not stop there!!
Simon has a $300 matching grant and if it is met it will just about move him to the Moving Mountains page on Reece's Rainbow. Getting him there will increase his exposure. Please, please let's do this!! We got Jason on that page.... Let's do the same for Simon!!
We have three babes who still need to get to the 1,000.00 wall.
Aubree
Porter
Bobby
Finally - Barton and Casey are so close to getting to the Moving Mountains page along with Simon.
All three boys - Barton, Casey and Simon AGE OUT THIS YEAR.
Casey ages out in June
Simon ages out in October
Barton ages out in December
Could we possibly help these boys get longer-term exposure?
IT'S TAX DAY!!
IT'S PAY DAY!!
Let's pour on the blessings!!
My friend from college who is an artist wanted to donate an item for the giveaway. Her grandmother ended up getting sick and going to be with Jesus and she was unable to make her offering.
She has made it now.
This is a handmade necklace that would sell in a gallery for $100.00.
THE MOTORCYCLE!!
My dear dad is NOT pleased that I am giving this drawing away!!
You have to remember that this drawing is being done by a child who has no real working tendons or muscles in his arm. He uses his shoulder muscle to navigate the pencil. BE IMPRESSED!!
But he wants to help the children find Mamas...
AND NOW... DRUMROLL PLEASE...
The winner of "The Tractor" is...

I donated $10 to Aubree today and have shared the giveaway link 5 times on Facebook over the past couple weeks. Praying for a strong outpouring and finish!
ReplyDeleteMandy S.
I donated $10 to the Johnson family today.
ReplyDeletecannonpg@yahoo.com
Julia, I only donate through paypal so it won't show up immediately.
Julia, I donated $20 to Baker Family(Emmitt), $20 to Simon and $20 to Casey. When I clicked on Simon's PICTURE it directed me to the Guardian Angel page on RR. I went back and clicked on his NAME above his picture and it took me to his RR profile where I could donate. Just wanted you to know. I also shared on my FB wall. Debbie Hannon.
ReplyDeleteOn this beautiful last day of stew brewing, I bring my humble gifts to add. $20 for Hanson (donated by the wonderful Andrew himself) He would like you to remind everyone that Hanson needs a family and that Hanson's blue cross from last year's stew is sitting in special box on his dresser. Andrew's faith is very strong and he prays every night for Hanson's family and for Hanson to hold on until they get there. I hope that this year will see a family step out in faith for this Lost Boy. $20 to Bobby and $20 to Audree and $15 to the Taylor family. Blessing to you Julia and your family!
ReplyDeleteTears...you have a very special boy there!
DeleteI gave again where my heart led me. Because I have faith that all those babes will make it over the wall (and because I know if they didn't I'd make it right myself the next day, prizes be darned), I'm giving where I feel God and my heart want me to give. I gave $20 more to the Unroes.
ReplyDeleteI already shared on facebook but just FYI, I'll share everywhere again today, because I would so love to see someone IRL see this opportunity and reach out to participate. I'm not sure if you saw, but last year's stew was my first ever donation to RR... your posts moved me to give even out of unemployment. I would be so happy to see someone new discover how rewarding it is to be a part of something like this, like I did last year.
God bless you, Julia. You continue to inspire me, not just for your giving heart, but for your humble spirit... for your honesty and admissions that you are human and not perfect, for how you give all the glory to God. Your heart and spirit shine through every word you write. Be blessed.
