This evening, my non-basketball playing self had a fantastic time playing basketball for Team Habitat for Humanity to raise money for the Women Build Habitat for Humanity project in Greenbrier County, WV. It was a great fundraiser, and we were able to interact with the family who will be living in the home that is now being built....a single mom with 4 small children. Right now they are living in a homeless shelter, all in one room with 2 beds, one closet, and a dresser. In just over a month, they will have a home of their own!!! Yay! The Habitat for Humanity group also told another family tonight that they will have a home in about a year. It really made me think about how fortunate I am. Thank you, Jesus for taking care of me and my family!
The game itself went pretty well. I ACTUALLY SCORED 4 POINTS!!! I was also excited to play with WV Secretary of State (and candidate for governor) Natalie Tennant, former NBA player and Lewisburg native Bimbo Coles (I attempted to guard him at one point....lol....wasn't happening!), and several other well known local folks. We were coached by Jim Justice, owner of the Greenbrier Resort. The game was so much fun with tons of games for kids in between quarters, dancing (mid game....it was a hoot!), and best of all, TEAM HABITAT WON!!!!! we did have a little help, but we still won! :) Thanks for inviting me to participate Almost Heaven Habitat for Humanity!!!
