Kristina's Angels
When my freshmen girls said they wanted to help bring Kristina here, I was thankful for their enthusiasm. But to be honest, I knew it would take quite some time and I was afraid they would become discouraged. They baked cookies and brownies, they emplored their fellow students, they made "Kristina's Angels" t-shirts, they organized a football fundraiser, and they prayed. And in one week, these girls have managed to rally the community, their families, and friends to raise $2300.00! I am humbled as God reminds me of Matthew 18:1-4
1At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?" 2And He called a child to Himself and set him before them, 3and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven. 4"Whoever then humbles himself as this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
God continues to teach me through this experience . . .
