SPA DAY FUNDRAISER FOR ESCALERA FAMILY

THIS UPDATE WAS LONG OVERDUE!! I HAD IT TYPED BUT NEVER POSTED BECAUSE I HADN'T UPLOADED THE PICS! OOPSIE! HAHA! SORRY!


I know it's been a while since I've written and kept things updated on here but the honest truth is that I've been so busy with my jobs and the tasks that God has called me to do that I don't really have time to write sometimes. Kudos to all those who keep their blog updated on a regular basis! Bare with me, I'm still learning =)

Praise the Lord of Lords to the Highest. He is magnificent, holy and everything true. My heart sings every time I think about how He pulls through for the ministry time after time. My best friend's brother was in a tragic car accident that has left him not being able to move from his neck down. He is a quadriplegic. It's been an extremely tough, tough time for the family as they've had to move to another country, let alone have to deal with the pains and stressors that something as horrific as this can bring.

They have no insurance, so the medical bills have sky rocketed right through the roof since he's been in the hospital for three weeks - we're talking hundreds of thousands of dollars. This isn't including the rehabilitation he's going to need once he's out. He only has a 3-4 month window of time to get into a rehab before his muscles contract forever. Rehab is $2500 a day! This also doesn't include the equipment he's going to need at home in order to survive.

My Majesty's Ministry organized a Spa Day Fundraiser for the Escalera family. For those of you that don't know, My Majesty's Ministry is a local non-profit organization out of McAllen, TX that reaches out to people around the globe and in our community by showing the love of Jesus Christ. I had been praying that God would direct me in what type of fundraiser to organize and only a day later my cousin, Bonnie calls me to suggest a Spa Day!

Bonnie donated her services as a licensed cosmetologist, brought her tools, equipment and product. She also found a sponsor for the event. Beauticontrol set up shop and did a free skin analysis on all our supporters PLUS they provided all their products to be used at every station. Beauticontrol was used at our foot scrub station, hand scrub station, lip plumping station and facial station. My friend Andrea who works at De Sanchez offered her massage skills and left everyone floating on cloud 9 after her magical fingers were done with our backs lol My good friend Ashley not only helped me host ALL day but did all the hand scrubs. Merissa thank you for coming by to help us out. Mayela who owns REDUCE ONE DIET CENTER (go to her if you need someone to guide you into a healthy eating plan!!) donated her place of business to transform into a SPA for a day. Thank you for that Mayela. My friend Ray got us some good pricing over at Copy Plus and printed our invitations ASAP. Thank you Ray. My Daddy let us borrow all his chairs from his office to set up our little waiting area and is always my strong anchor of support in everything that I dream of doing with the ministry. Thanks Daddy!! My girlfriends (most of them from Princess Bible Study) came by and got the works done on themselves! Thank you girls!!! I love you all. 

SPA DAY was a success because of every single one of you and we were able to bless the Escalera family in more ways than one. Of course none of this would've been possible without God's grace, love and movement in every single angle of this fundraiser, so to HIM be all the praise and glory! I love you, my Miracle Worker, You!! You never let go through the calm & through storm. You never let go and are always there for me. I love you.
