There is still a ton of work to do and HOPE to spread in the New York City area for the Hurricane Sandy victims. I've met a handful of people recently doing a lot of work in Staten Island and the Rockaways. The Dream Center is no different! They are doing their part with what they can to reach out and help! I'm so excited to have this opportunity to go!!!! Here is a more descriptive NOTE about my passion and my dreams....
So, you may remember last year...that I was able to partake in the trip to the LA Dream Center in the city of Los Angeles and the things we did to impact the community and meet the needs.
THIS YEAR, due to an inkling and a seed that was planted, we are now going to the
NEW YORK DREAM CENTER....
My experience last year was more the revealing about my purpose here on earth and what I feel I'm called to do. I traveled more last year than I have in my lifetime. I have grown up driving across the country and living in places, cities and homes of all shapes and sizes. I know what it means to be with AND without. I know how to smile, hug and love people with just being me.
In October 2012 when the Hurricane was hitting NYC, I was in Las Vegas with friends from NYC. I felt that how fitting I was able to be joyful while still be sorrowful for my *family* in New York. All I could think of was everyone I know up there...and how could I help!!??!!! Well, the timing was not right for me to go right away. When I found out the dates for the trip, I was ecstatic. It is really happening!!!!! I feel there is still so much to do for the folks of NY and NJ hit by the storms. I’ll be doing a pre-liminary trip in February (as a personal trip)….but my ultimate goal is to be SENT to the NEW YORK DREAM CENTER.

The trip is a total of $900 with a $200 deposit due on Feb 15th. Should you like to JOIN ME in this adventure (which will have pictures and blogs)….please consider teaming up with me to SEND ME to the place that I’m passionate about. I feel like my whole JOURNEY of my purpose in life has lead to these past few years...of BEING in the places I'm supposed to be...to make a difference. :)
I just came back home from NYC this past weekend which just so happened to have the NEMO Blizzard happen where my friends were challenged in various ways, but still able to push through with hope!
I walked around (on purpose) during the Friday nite blizzard - to experience NEVER GIVING UP. I was able to meet Kenley Collins of Project Runway and spend a few hours really excited to be able to be in the right places at the right times.
I was also able to connect to my local friends and really have a great time, despite all the storms against us. Isn't that AMAZING!!!??!!!! God has SO MANY PLANS for me...and you!
I encourage you, if God has put dreams in YOUR heart, you need to go do them - DESPITE any blizzard that comes your way.

All payments will be made again to: Freedom Life Church – I’ll have more info as I get it, but the deposit is basically due almost immediately. I feel like trip was definitely designed for me – nothing can express the feeling in my heart…EVERY TIME I go there. Thanks for considering to help me in the quest, and I’m excited to share everything with you as it comes in!!!!!
