well... it happened. our first block party on kamwood street. i cannot even begin to express everything that went right tonight. i'm pretty tired, but i have a feeling my brother in-law might be in more pain and muscle ache than me. he carried the load with this one and i'm so proud of him. can i say that? he has such a gift for organizing and storing things (if only you knew) but essentially the trailer of rentals (moon bounce/bounce house, popcorn, sno cones, cotton candy machines, tables, tents, chairs, games) is more sorted out and neat now than when we first got it.
anyway, a couple notes about this new ministry called block parties. Ask me again where god is. He is right here. to start at the end, as I was packing up one of our tables, a neighbor next to me was using the evening to preach the gospel. while i walked down our dimly lit street after putting away some other block party/carnival contraption, the air was still filled with the sound of neighbors chatting and ray charles through the speakers, there was a child reaching up for one of the red balloons that had blown from his hand. somehow, that red balloon represents god's love, and uh...that's when I thanked Him again for having such an amazing plan for us.
anyway, i still don't entirely know how to clean out a popcorn machine and i definitely have no idea what to do with the cotton candy bit (thanks lynn for telling me at least to soak the top part)...but I think block party san diego is on!
