Denver, Colorado and Shoeboxes!

Hey everybody i know it has been almost a year since i have even posted anything, but i guess i haven't done anything because my normal humdrum life wasn't worth sharing.  i know what your thinking, lame excuse Woody!  It is lame but here i am sharing with you an opportunity that God has allowed me to be part of.  It is Operation Christmas Child or OCC for short.  I arrived here to Denver, Colorado around 6:30PM, Thursday night with Phil and Rose Struck, Ramona, Dotty, and Liz.  We decided to take a cruise to the processing center to see where it was located and as God's Word tells us "man makes his plans but God directs his steps" and how true that is and instead of just checking it out.  they needed help because they had groups that never showed up and they needed help and we jumped at the opportunity to serve our King where He needed us and it was amazing.  Rose, Liz, Ramona, and Dotty all got to go through the shoeboxes and make them ready to be shipped off to Mexico and also we found out to also Haiti.  For Haiti it was canceled but God provided an open door and they will be shipped out along with the ones to Mexico on Saturday.  It was an amazing time of service and of prayer.  As you guys read this my prayer is that if you have an opportunity to go a process center I would recommend you to go.  It is a lot of hard work and you will be tired i guarantee it but in the end to know that you were part of something that not only made a difference in a child's life tangibly but it also has eternal implications as well, and i and the others have given a great privilege to be part of what our God is doing through OCC.
