Last night concluded our outreach to the women of Capljina. For two evenings, we hosted a jewelry making party as an opportunity to connect with some of the women in the church and others they have invested in over the last several months. Our hope was to give them a chance to relax in an evening of fellowship with Christian women and experience the love of Christ Jesus, as we strung baubles and beads, gems and gemstones, gold and sliver. We came prepared to assist each participant string a strand or two, but much to our surprise, we had difficulty keeping up with these most creative and passionate women. Six, seven, eight necklaces later, some with matching bracelets and earrings, more than jewels were connecting - hearts were as well. More precious than gold and silver, our God tethered every soul and shined manifest like the most glorious pendant covering every heart. And the joy! Oh, the joy was his delight, His glory. We had said from the beginning, whomever God brought - whether few or many - He would be glorified. It is with incredible awe that we claim God is true to His promises as He filled every table, both nights! We even had to buy extra beads yesterday to meet the demand. Glory be to God! He is it!!
Still in One Peace,
Kathy
