Courage

     Few of you may know that my friends and I started a club when I was last in America.  We called ourselves the G4C girls, which means Girls For Christ.  We started out by finding a place to meet, after a week of searching Brandon the only place that was close, welcoming, loving, and caring was my Nana's shed.  In about three days we were cleaning out the packed shed, killing spiders, and being thankful for the huge gift by my generous Nana.  Also with being in the backyard we were opened to a nice little waterfall and a big yard to play in.  Sadly one of my friends was not there for the first Club day.  
     As we were making the shed beautiful we realized we have no money to make it Awesome!
After that came the idea of a car wash. Looking for a place for cars to park and a hose was difficult.  We talked to our parents about doing one but didn't tell them we were going to do it soon.  We walked  into Ace Hardware, a little frighten, and asked "May we please do a car wash here for our G4C club?"  Then my friends filled in the rest of the info.  After the employee talked to the manager on a walky talky they said yes! (Which was very nice of them)  We told our parents this and they we so surprised.   We did the car wash the very next day.  Our parents didn't know we just walked in and asked.  So that went well but once again my other friend was not there.  
     With the money from the car wash, we bought paint from Ace Hardware and painted this time, with all five of us!  It was awesome!  Then we forgot why we were doing this and just made the shed a playhouse.  Then with just two weeks before I left for Haiti we started making it a devotion time.  
  God gave us courage to go into Ace Hardware, later he will give us courage to talk to people about Jesus.  Do you need courage?  Ask for it from Jesus.

Before I close this up I have been feeling I am suppose to write this to someone. Would you rip the grass and brush away the dirt from the cross?
   God blessed my friends and I, He can bless you too :)
