Hello, my dear friends out there. We are almost there. We're gonna make this video tomorrow, Friday, and I'm really excited about it. I'm really glad for this opportunity, and I wanted to tell you something really neat that happened. I'm not gonna take a lot of time in this video, but last night we received a donation. And many of you know that we lost my grandmother just a few really just a few weeks ago. It was earlier this summer, and she was the sweetest lady and taught us a lot about what it means to serve, to follow Jesus. And there was a donation made, and the money means a lot, but I'll tell you what means so much more than the money that was donated. It was donated in honor and in memory of my grandma Claudia Lee James, and that just warmed my heart. Made me very emotional. Man, I'm just so grateful for so many of you that care so deeply. And the fact that we're making this video, which is about Advent and watching and waiting and longing for the coming of the Lord— and my grandma is a lady that did that. She taught us to watch and to wait and to long for the Lord. And so I'm so grateful just for the insight and the generosity that so many of you have shown already. We still have a ways to go financially, but that was just encouraging to me, and I wanted to share it with you. Thank you for your kindness. Thank you, all of you who have donated, all of you who have been praying. Maybe even some of you have even said, you know, I can't give right now, but you have my prayers, and that means so much. I really can't wait to record this video tomorrow. Please pray for us. We really want this to be something that is beneficial. Our hope is that it will bring hope, and that's the desire for this video, for this song. God's going to provide the money. I just, I believe that one way or another, so I'm really not worried about that. I'm just praying that he will use us as his instruments and let this be something for for the good of people, to bring hope, maybe even something useful for churches to use during the Advent time. As you know, it's so easy just to pull up a YouTube video anymore and play it in your congregation or for your churches. And I'm praying it will be something worthy that will bring hope and bring light and maybe worshipful. That's my deepest desire, something that can draw worship out of us together. And so Anyway, if you're able to help, that would be awesome. GoFundMe.com/RickLeeJames. And again, thank you all so much for your generosity. God bless you. We're making a video tomorrow.
