Prayer Works...!

Some prayer notes...

Praise: Regina Hisey spent the week in the Hospital. We all prayed for her. And when they finally came to do the final test before surgery, the doctors found out that she did NOT have 50-70% blockage in her arteries. Instead, her arteries were clear. They sent her home. How cool is that?

Prayer: Our house has had very little interest. We dropped the price again and have another showing tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. We’d really like to sell. That’d be cool.

Praise: Today, Mary and I took a business card to a gal (Morgan) we had met at the mall a few weeks ago. She had expressed great interest in The Harbor. She was gone. The new gal behind the counter just kept saying “She doesn’t work here anymore.” Hmmm. So, since we were there, we told her about The Harbor, and she got pretty excited. When I mentioned we will have a room just for clay, she said “A kiln too?” And I said “A kiln too!” She said “I’d love to come to that!” So I gave HER the business card that was meant for Morgan. Her name is Rachel. Then, on our way out of the mall, we ran into a lady and her 3rd grade daughter who was carrying a clarinet. In the mall? Yes! That seemed like an obvious opportunity. Mary and I asked if she plays in a band, and she said she’s too young to be in the band, but she’s taking lessons. We told her about The Harbor, and boy, was her mother excited! They live in Detroit and told us they’d come to The Harbor when it opens.

Praise: Mary and I went to Starbucks for our quiet time. We met a really neat family who loved the idea of The Harbor – but they were from Rossford, Ohio. Too far to drive. Then a couple of Taylor Police Officers showed up for their coffee. I spoke with one of them and told them about our adventure. I said “If you drive by and notice people dropping things off – that’s cool. If you drive by and notice people taking things OUT of the building, ask them what they’re doing…!” Anyway, a few minutes later, while talking with the Barista, I told him we’re starting a Cultural Arts center and he said he remembered me from last time. We talked about The Harbor a bit, and he said I should bring a flyer and put it up on the bulletin board to advertise. Then he asked me to wait while he gets his manager, because Starbucks likes to invest in community things such as this. The manager was interested but not able to talk right then, and in fact neither could we, for we had other work to do. But we will!

So that’s it for this week. Thanks for all your prayers! God is good.
