Praise the Lord, oh my soul!

Hello sweet brothers and sisters!
Our God is so good! I would love to share with you all what he did this past weekend. We had a craft show where we shared a table with our sister company A Whimsy Willow.

The Lord was so gracious and the highest selling products were the Three Remain scarves and bracelets. He is surely faithful to bring glory to His Name, and that is the cry of this whole entire endeavor, that the Lord's name be glorified.

As a result of the great work the Lord did, we were able to give half of the proceeds of the Three Remain sales to OneVerse and translate 4 verses for the Arew people of Tanzania! Four verses may not seem like alot, but each verse is $26 dollars to translate. This money goes towards:

"Your OneVerse gift funds six major steps to bring God’s Word to a new heart language. They are:

• Creating a first draft translation of the text
• Forming a language team to review the first draft of the translation
• Testing the new draft of the translation within the indigenous community
• Checking the translation by translating the draft back into English or another major language
• Professional language consultants to review and check the translation
• A final check of the translation prior to publication

Undergirding each of these project steps are training and mentoring, consultation for translators, computers, printers, translation software, office supplies, transportation, salaries or the equivalent and other necessities." (Oneverse.org ; http://www.oneverse.org/faqs)

As you can see, it takes alot to translate even one verse. They must take the original Hebrew scripture and translate it into a language, taking into account the root words, tense, context, etc. 

With the proceeds the four verses translated this weekend were: 

John 5:18 "For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God."

John 5:19 "Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 
John 5:20 "For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 
John 5:21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.


I am so excited to see where God takes this endeavor. It was his inspiration that began it, and will continue it. Without Christ we "can do nothing," we only seek to glorify His Name and bring His Word to those who do not have it. 


All glory to God our Father, who is faithful beyond our wildest dreams and expectations. He is so so SO Worthy. Praise the Lord, oh my soul, praise the Lord.
