The Making of a Prayer Tree

Aleisha recently had two friends visit, and they added a unique touch to Aim Right's office area.
 


 
The tree will be a place where staff and teens can post prayer requests.

 
Speaking of prayer....our annual auction is in 10 days. That means the schedule is a little fuller, with adding in auction preparations. Pray for energy and health for our staff and volunteers during this busy season and for God's hand upon this event that is coming ever so quickly!

A Glimpse into February

Here are some photos of last week's Teen Night, when Ro talked about having godly relationships:
 

 



 
 
Next up:  Our largest ever (maybe?) yard sale spread...
At 8:00 AM tomorrow we hope to make a lot of folks happy with their bargain purchases, plus raise money towards Teen Camp. 

 

 
 
 
This morning's Mobile Pantry had 102 families come through; when they sign in, they are asked to record how many adults and children are in their households. According to the sign-in sheet, the food today will be used to feed 287 adults and 226 children, for a total of 513 people.
 
 
Also, Auction Weekend is fast approaching! To preview items and see other details, visit our auction website. We have been blessed with many quality donated items!

Please pray for AJ and Jewel and the others who faithfully serve at Aim Right North.  In recent months, they have experienced an increase in the number of teens who come to their Monday evening Bible study / Teen Night event.
 
This morning, as I drove east on my commute to work, I experienced too-many-for-my-comfort seconds of blinding sunlight, as the sun rose higher in the sky. That has happened a few other times lately; I nearly can't see the color of the traffic lights, and there's not much I can do to minimize the glare.
 
I thought of Deborah's song in Judges 5, where Deborah says, "Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Lord! But let those who love Him be like the sun when it comes out in full strength.” As one who appreciates a good word picture, I remember reading that verse years ago and being struck by the image it creates.
 
As we well know in the Valley of the Sun, it is a rare day when the sun holds back its strength here. You get used to the 300+ days of sunshine each year, and rainy or overcast days really are a novelty. Spiritually speaking, though, there is a lot of darkness in the Valley, and more of His light is needed to shine into those dark places.
 
Let's be the light!
