Story Behind "Yes I Am"

"Yes I Am" ~

One day I was researching videos about giving and I came across this amazing story about a little girl named Heather Bailey. She decided to sell lemonaid to raise money to dig a well for a village with unclean water and raised $1000 to accomplish her goal! I was totally blown away with how this child would make a difference in her world at such an early age. She challenged me!

I showed this video to my daughter, Maisey, who was 2 1/2 at that time. Smitten with the fact that people had to drink dirty water, Maisey said, "I want to dig a well so people won't get sick!" (yes, my 2 1/2 year old said this!) So, we started saving money in her star-shaped piggy bank. Every penny, nickle & dime counts! Her heart for the world has expanded to helping kids in orphanages in Honduras as well as rescuing girls off the streets in India.

In honor of Maisey's heart for others, I will be giving a percentage of the monies earned from the sale of my upcoming worship CD, "Night light", to further the cause!

It doesn't take much to speak the most effective language, the language of love, that transends nations & skin color, by giving from the well God has given me.

"Night Light" will be released Sunday, June 13, 2010.
