Words cannot express how grateful I am and how blown my mind is. I have grown up in the same church since day one of my life.I was practically born in the pew. Not only did my parents raise me but so did the pastors, elders, leaders, school teachers and every one else in the church. I love my church and the older I get the more I realised how good I had it while growing up in this generous, spirit filled, crazy, loving church family! I have seen it go through so many changes and shift and it has only gotten better over the years.
Sundays fundraiser left me speechless. Trying to find the words to express how appreciative and thankful I am is difficult because nothing seems to fit how thankful I really am. I have only felt everyone back me up on joining the African Children's choir since day one of the dream. From the standing ovations and the seed given to me the previous Sunday when I tried to give a speech about the ACC to the actual fundraiser this last Sunday my mouth has been left open...unable to actually process what is happening.
I am so grateful for my church family. There generosity and kindness has not only made me an emotional wreck but extremely grateful that God has placed me in this loving environment. Even as I write this I am tearing up. I have only been encourage to follow after my dreams and I want to do my best and make everyone proud.
Thank you to everyone who has seeded into me. I am so humbled and grateful for your generosity and support. Thank you for trusting me and believing in me. I will never forget this...for one my love language is gifts and two you have all made a huge impact on me and I would not be the person I am today if it wasn't for you and God of course. lol
Thank you so much!!!!!
Love, hugs & kisses,
Auntie Mel

The way you have lived (and loved) your life around the church we KNOW will only extend to the rest of what you do. You are not fake,Mel, you are the real deal and people appreciate and trust that!
