Prayer Retreat

Dana & I went on a Prayer Retreat last Thursday & Friday to bathe New Life Design in prayer.  It was an incredible experience!  We talked to God, and we listened to God about His plans for NLD.  We interceded for our clients and asked God’s hand of power and protection to cover the ministry.  This was a very special time for me, personally.  I enjoyed getting away, being still and quiet, and talking/listening to God.  It was definitely an intimacy building time.  I experienced several “aha” moments as I read scripture and prayed.  We decided to make this a regular event for New Life Design.  When I was in college and in China, I had my own personal days or half-days of prayer, but I’ve fallen out of the habit since I returned to Powder Springs 3 years ago.  I’m thankful for the reminder of how great it is!  I encourage you to try it as well.  Take a weekend, day, or a half-day, find a quiet place without any distractions, and enjoy the presence of God.

Another Big Miracle

I just wanted to take a quick moment to share with you a huge answer to prayer.  We have been awaiting the “offical” approval of our 501 (c) 3 tax exemption status.  Our letter arrived in the mail yesterday and we were approved!  So, we are delighted to announce that we are “offically” a non-profit organization meaning all of your gifts and donations to New Life Design are tax exempt!  All gifts given prior to August 24 are also tax exempt due to the approval being retroactive.  It was a long process of paper work but it is offically done and we are relieved.  If you are wondering what is the big deal about it and why we so excited…talk to one who has tried to apply before and they will be happy to explain what is involved.

Thank you to those out there who have been praying with us about this!

Enjoying The New Design
