WOW… I don’t even know where to start. What an incredible day Sunday 24th July 2011 was …the first day of Soul 139.
I have been planning this since God laid the vision on my heart 5 months ago. I am still in the process of filling out papers to apply for non profit status & trying to lay the foundation, but I didn't want to let that stop me from moving. I decided to have a "Demo day" & Sunday I got the privilege of doing hair for some people from hope haven & Jackson Park.
I couldn’t believe the day actually happened. God has orchestrated this perfectly from the get go. The whole journey has pushed me out of my comfort zone in numerous ways. But that is where God grows me the most. Each time I’m obedient, as scary as it is, He blesses me beyond words. I had the privilege to pray with these people, to lift them up to Jesus & ask His blessing over them. I had the opportunity to create a style & to honor them in a way that has not been done in a long time, if ever for some of them. We had men, women & kids! It was a great day. The neighbors were SO appreciative for everything that took place.
I am so grateful for the amazing people God has placed in my life to be able to make SOUL 139 what it is. Without them, that day would not have been possible or as special as it was.
I want to take a moment to thank each of them for all they did…Thank you to
