God is so great! Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Since this ministry started the desire of our heart has been to show the women at Emerald City that we love them and care about them . . . but more importantly that God loves them and cares about them. It feels like after this past weekend that we have been given that opportunity in a big way!
Friday night we made our second trip to the nude bar. In the words of Alex and Steph, “A-MA-ZING!” The girls welcomed us excitedly! They were thrilled to see us back . . . especially with a Christmas dinner! Things seemed to be a little slower in the bar so we had great opportunities to get to know the girls better. One of the best parts of the night was handing out Christmas stockings filled with great donated gifts. The girls were so appreciative and couldn’t believe that anyone would do something like that for them. It gave us an amazing opportunity to share why we were there. The owner even came back to hang out with us! He had a plate of food and commented that it would probably be the only Christmas dinner he would get. He stayed in the dressing room and chatted with us probably 20 minutes! When we left he thanked us and said we could come back anytime!!! A-MA-ZING!!
Saturday we had our Christmas Party with the girls at a local park. Six ladies showed up with their significant others and children. Santa was there to hand out presents and take pictures. It was so nice to see the girls outside of the bar environment and get to know them on a more personal basis. It really solidified the fact that they are not so different from us . . . moms who love their kids and are trying to provide for them. Many of them commented on how nice it was to get their kids out to play with other children. They were so appreciative of the gifts their children received. What a fun, amazing, and wonderful day that was!
