I have sat down to try to write this post so many times, but I can't seem to find the words. Nothing seems right.

To witness how many people came forward to do RAK in Brent's honor, has just blessed me beyond words. To think of all the people who were touched by these RAK makes my heart smile SO BIG! To think about Brent looking down and witnessing people coming together to spread love, as he so often did, makes me do the happy cry. And to know that Tonya got to witness his spirit live on and touch so many people...there are no words.

The drawing for the name took so much time because each time I would look at all of those pieces of paper in my little shoe box(high class operation here), I would do the happy cry! You have all touched me. Each and everyone of you. I love you for what you did for Brent, for Tonya and for all the people who were touched by your RAK! Thank you GOD for blessing me this way!!

That being said, I know through your comments there was not one person who was not touched by Brent's story. And I know that it is impossible for you not to be blessed through doing your RAK. My point... each an every one of us has come away from this blessed in more ways than one. We are all winners. Love how God does that!

When I pulled this name out of my hat, it made me smile BIG. Though I don't know this person as they came over from Tonya's blog, I remember the comment they left. This person knew Brent personally, which makes it even that much more cool that she won. I hope she doesn't mind me sharing that it was Brent's conviction in Christ that solidified hers! She said meeting him touched her and changed her life forever. How he must be smiling at that one!


So... Susan Foster, come on down... You're the winner of Brent's Birthday Celebration Giveaway!!! WOO-HOO!!! You will get an e-mail with your numbers shortly!!


SERIOUSLY BIG THANK YOU to all of you who participated in our RAK Extravaganza, and to those who linked to me and helped spread the word!!

After you check out the AMAZING prizes she is raffle-ing away, and before you purchase your entries, take a peek at that little Man. Because after you see that sweet little face, chances are, you are going to want to give more. And then for some reason, I think you might want a cookie. I think I need to step away from the children's literature!
