Here's the link to a YouTube video of the concert finale as posted by my student Natalie's mom Angie. Enjoy!
(I haven't actually seen it yet. Darn that dial-up! :( Let me know what you think!)

The Concert Was Grrrrrreeeaat!!!
When I posted Saturday morning that I would report on the concert sometime Sunday, well, I didn't quite anticipate how wiped out we would be. Please check back again soon, and I will have ALL the details. Just let me leave you with this--
The whole evening was an absolutely wonderful blessing. So many dear, special people came out to help us celebrate the forming of a new family as well as to help raise the funds needed to get us to China. The musicians were incredible to donate their time and talents, and Rob K. was a superb emcee. Then, when the donations were counted, the total came out to be over $4,230!!! People absolutely put their love into action. God is SO good!

Benefit Concert Tonight (Please Pray!!!)
"Journey to Noelle" is our largest and final fundraising event, and tonight is the night. We've been talking about it for months and planning and rehearsing for it for the past 2 months. Now it's here. Yikes!
Eric and I, all my vocal and piano students, a wonderful local group called The Mirthmakers (2 members attend our church), and several other local musicians will perform. We will also be sharing our personal story and testimony of adoption and playing several adoption-related video clips up on large screen. Noelle's face will also be highly evident throughout. :) And this is all topped off with an ice cream sundae bar. Yummm--
I'm feeling a tad (probably more than a tad) nervous about it coming off well, and wondering if the final details will fall into place. It will be an intense and emotional evening. I'm very excited about getting to share in this time of celebration with friends around our community (and hope that several families feel moved to consider or pursue adoption after tonight), but, boy will I be glad when it's over. Whew!
Prayer Requests:
Please be in prayer for Eric and I as we share from our hearts.
Please pray that the Lord provides in a MIRACULOUS way (we believe!).
And pray that the Holy Spirit's presence is felt by all in attendance.
Thank you SO much! I'll be sure to post about the event later this weekend.
