Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us (Ephesians 3:20 NIV)

This verse sums up God as Jehovah Jireh - Our Provider!!! Whenever my back is against a wall, I recite this scripture (among others) and it calms my soul. Still true to my goals of 2010, I had meetings with others who have knowledge and/or resources that I need. On Wednesday, I met with David Ginsburg (@davidginsburg on twitter). He's the best social media consultant out there!!! I had him looking at the site for Prove Me Now Herewith (www.provemenowherewith), and he gave me some incredible ideas. I was pleased with the site as it was, but God used David to show me exceedingly and abundantly more than I had imagined. He suggested that I create a facebook fan page and make the site itself more interactive. He suggested hyperlinking the labels to the actual testimonies that are sent in. When I left the meeting, I immediately reflected on how this is SO much more than I had asked or thought.
Then, yesterday I met with the Ayele Shakur, executive director of the Boston Learning Center (http://www.bostonlearningcenter.org/). Another of my goals is to write a successful grant this year, and by successful, I mean funded. There is a class being offered and the University of Massachusetts for $375. It meets on Wednesday nights from 6-9:30 (which as you know, is a violation of my 8pm bedtime). I liked the class because the students actively worked with an organization researching it as well and potential funding sources. I went to Ayele to ask if I could use the Learning Center as my organization. Not only did she agree, she invited me to come on board and work with the grant writing team there and get hands on experience that way - for free!!! Not only will I write 1 grant this year, but the expectation is that I will be writing 1 a month!!!! Again...excited!!! And can you say "exceeding"????
If God has moved beyond your wildest expectations, don't keep it to yourself!!! By all means tell somebody, and feel free to share on this blog!!! Have a great weekend, and above all, be blessed!!!
