Friday night is Teen Night twice a month. And this was a big event tonight- a Valentine Dance! The girls could come early to have their hair and makeup done. An upscale resale shop even donated dresses for them to borrow! A restaurant donated food, a store donated tons of flowers, and volunteers came to help, take photographs, and DJ. It was a great time and it was all possible because of the kindness of others.
One of the girls that did hair is someone I met a few weeks ago. She was sad, angry and obviously hurting. But, when I saw her earlier this week, she was better and mentioned hoping to go to cosmetology school. I asked her to come and she came right on time to help! Somehow, we were able to connect and I moved one step closer to getting her to trust me. It seems she has a good heart, it's just breaking a little right now- I just haven't figured out why.
There were so many great things about the event. It was a great time for the teens, but it was also a great way for others to use their gifts to do something for others.
So, where was God today? He was in all of the people who gave of their gifts and things so that the teens could have a great time.
Blessings,
Jennifer
