Keep Changing The World (With Lyrics) - MIKESCHAIR Feat. Lecrae

I want to tell you all about yesterday but I need to start with Friday. So Friday I had a Tastefully Simple Party. The lady who I was working with is amazing and she teamed up with me to do this party as a fund raiser (something she did not HAVE to do). So that night I had a few ladies come to me and just hand me some money. Super sweet and something that they didn't have to do at all. Saturday 2 separate ladies came to me and gave me checks. AGAIN something that they did not have to do. Well, between the gifts given Friday and Saturday we were given almost exactly what we had to give at the meeting on Monday.
HUGE HUGE Blessing!!
After meeting with our social worker I have so much peace about what we are doing. I had talked to her on the phone but there is just something about meeting face to face. She is great and I have NO DOUBT that she was hand picked to work with us. She is funny and quirky and gets us( even me ). She sees our heart and our passion and honestly we see hers.
So walking in I was scared but after a few minutes I realized that it was going to be just fine. 4 HOURS later we walked out of her office. It was a long meeting but so great. She answered a lot of our questions. Basically the first 3 hours were just information. The last hour was her interviewing us as a couple, which was great. We got to share how we met and how we have grown as a couple. So all in all; great trip!
NOW we have a huge stack of papers and some appointments. We have another meeting with her mid October and then the next meeting she will come here. After that we submit our profile and WAIT!! EEEKKK!!!
So keep praying we are moving forward!! The next few steps are a little tricky and we are looking seriously at $$ needs. We designed our t-shirts and a great friend hooked us up with a sweet action deal. SO they will be $10 each. I will post a sample soon. If you are interested just post a comment and let me know what sizes you would like. Also we are planning a chicken BBQ for Oct. 9th. We are going to pre-sell tickets so again if you are interested let us know. Or just come out and see us at Bill Anderson's Farm Market.
Basically we need $5, 000 by the beginning of November and TRUTHFULLY I have no clue how its going to happen but we still believe in the God of the Universe Whose heart is for the orphans and so I KNOW He is faithful and will move when and where He wants.

Ok so I want to leave you with this. Its a great song and I just want to pass it along!

Lyrics:
Something here is wrong
There are children without homes
But we just move along to take care of our own
There's so much suffering just outside our door
A cry so deafening
We just can't ignore

To all the people who are fighting for the broken
All the people who keep holding on to love
All the people who are reaching for the lonely
Keep changing the world

Take a look around
Before the sun goes out
What's lost can still be found
It's not too late now
It only takes one spark to make the fire burn
So reach inside your heart and let this be the start

Chorus

I know you see the suffering
How they gone recover when people just look over like they don't even notice them
Everyone whose focusing on ending all this hopelessness
You can change the world by changing who the world is hoping in

I see the sun coming up
It's a brighter day
Let's show the world that love is a better way
So lend a hand join the fight
'Cause time is ticking away
Keep changing the world

I see you changing the world
Step up!

  4. I know it doesn't seem possible that the money will be there, but God has always supplied our needs in ways we never expected. Your box of money will come at JUST the right time.
