How Fun to Be A Spectator

I have been watching as my daughter Micah has been living the beginning of the dream God put in her heart. She is only 23 but wise way beyond her years. She is the director of BigHouse Foundation, a nonprofit organization for foster/adoptive families in the Lee County area. She has had some pretty awesome experiences so far and I've had a front row seat the whole time. She planned a little get together for people of Opelika back last November, she invited about 25 people, 20 showed up and some even came with checks in hand! She was "given" space for the clothes closet and like adding water it became a reality. People have come from everywhere to help...The accountant told her it would take several months to recieve the 501c3 status....it took a few weeks..the building we are using for BigHouse was a miracle, it has been leased to them free of charge for years to come. Micah has had an audience with...the director of DHR locally (she even endorses BH on the promotional video), the new state commissioner of DHR, professional football players, congressmen, and the governor of Alabama (who told her to call him if she needed him...to which she replied "Oh we're gonna need you alright" she had him eating out of her hand, little charmer!)
We've all just been amazed at what can happen when you commit your life to doing God's work. He has orchestrated the whole thing. I can see him tapping his foot to the soundtrack of this movie we are living. This week Micah got the opportunity to share her dream with someone who can be very helpful in getting the old house done...I can't say who she is just yet but lets just say she has a vested interest in athletics in this area....and she knows people who share this dream, lots of people. She basically told Micah that she could get her in front of anybody she wanted to talk to. But you know what? Micah already has an audience with the most influential person of all time and he is smiling on her and this organization every day. I am clicking on my seatbelt, I have a feeling we are in for quite a fun ride!
