Secret to tell and favor to ask...

I have a secret to tell, I was going to keep my mouth shut but I just can't darn it!!!

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to own my very own restaurant but I just haven't even tried.  Well, Saturday I was grocery shopping and this lady came out of no where adn asked if she could tell me something.  she went on to tell me all about MY LIFE, and while doing so she said "Don't worry your resaurant is coming soon, just pray about it and you will have it."  I won't lie...I thought she was crazy as all get out but I listened to her every word.  The placed some oil on my forhead in the shape of a cross laid her hand upon the top of my head then down to my shoulders adn then on to hold my hand, she prayed and prayed lookings straight into my eyes without ever blinking.  I got chills all over my body. But I LISTENED to her every word.  I came home me and Tino talked and I prayed and I prayed and I prayed.  Today as Ant and I was out running around town I stopped by two old restaurants.  One is for sale:  4,500 sq ft cafateria style place with a 1 bedroom apartment, completely furnished for $184,000.  Wow what a great deal for this place but I CAN NOT do this by myself.  So I went and looked at the tiny place around the corner.  The lady wouldn't answer her phone so all I know is seeing it when I ate there before it closed down, nice but small (maybe 1,200 sq ft).  The lady called me back adnsaid we could meet tomarrow evening at 5PM.  While on the phone with her she tells me I'll let ya have it for $300 a month with a 6 month contract.  I almost died right there on the phone.  ONLY $300 a month!  Now I do not know if it is furnished or not so that is going to be my decision maker but darn $300 a month!!!!

Now to the favor part.  I'm asking that ya'll pray, that if this is the right thing for us, that the Lord work is miracles and show us the path to opening this restaurant.  Help us finacially to come up with the $3,000 needed to get it going!  I've prayed and I've preayed and I plan on praying some more but I need your help.

Ameri-Mex will open one day but is this our time?  Please pray!  Thanks in advance!

If he sent an angel to tell you the good news, then I'll just bet he'll make the rest a reality!  Keep the faith and do not give up your dream!

I will be praying.
Serve Him while you are waiting.. Worship Him while you wait.
Remember it's all in HIS timing not ours!!!
God will open HIS path and just grab His hand and let HIM lead.
Keep us updated.

Hi Cristy,

I was just thinking about you.  How are you doing?  You have got to get us some pics of the new you!  You ought to try to go get some of those Glamour Shots done...WOOOO HOOOO Mama!  You have always been beautiful but I bet you are one sexy lady.  I am so proud of you!

We would be honored to have you and Jerry join us for dinner.  That would nice!  I'll post more this evening once I take a look at what was left in the building.

Another good thing is that I already have staff (mostly family till we can get it going good).

I am doing good thanks for asking! I am still swollen quite a bit but thats to be expected! I went to the Dr this morning and had the drains in my pelvis removed and now I feel great! I have lost 9 lbs since being home from the hospital and I know they removed 10 lbs of skin so I have no clue where my weight is going to end up but Im happy with it no matter what!I cant wait till Im totally healed and the soreness is gone so we can get a few pics! 

And actually my best friend and I have talked about the Glamour Shots... we just may have to do it!

FIRST let me say thank you all for your prayers and kind words.  Keep them rolling please!

SECOND.........

MORE GOOD NEWS.........

I went to my bank this morning and I have been approved for 1/3 of the money that I need!

Still have no idea if this place is furnished or not but I can almost bet if not that there will be away to get it open anyways!!!

Thank you Jesus for leading me to this path!  I know that God wouldn't have lead me here jsut for the fun of things, I know he has a plan for me!!!!  And I am going to make it happen and be prosporus.

Thanks again my friends and family!
