On April 27, 2010 the Lord put the project of God's Cozy Acres a Christian Retreat for Widows on my heart. In April 2011 by the grace of God and with the help of Charles Christiansen at SCOPE the 501(c)(3) documents were completed and submitted to the IRS. The challenge has been to keep everyone motivated believing that this event would take place and that with God all things are possible. We all knew that fundraisers and grants must have the letter from the IRS giving us 501(c)(3) approval.
Merry Christmas from the IRS came today in the mail with the approval of our 501(c)(3) status. I shouted "Praise the Lord" and called my mom, daughter, best friend Marty (Board member), Diane (Board Member), Vivian (Board Member), Celest, Pastor Johnson and Pastor Mark.
Now comes more paperwork, more renovation, more talks and more challenges but each step adds excitement, blessings and joy in my life
I am so excited about 2012 and the beginnings for God's Cozy Acres Christian Retreat for Widows. I am so happy to be in the Lord's service, what a blessing and joy!
Have a great day in the Lord everyone everywhere!
