Striking a Cord

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.

John 16:24

I read this daily Bible verse yesterday and it struck a chord with me. There are so many things that I want to do - and this quote reminds me that all I have to do is ask. Whether or not I receive will be God's choice and his will for me.

Oklahoma Organization - Diamond Hats

The Diamond Hats organization proudly promotes the youth of Oklahoma
as they pursue their agricultural endeavors.

Women from all parts of the state are united in an effort to elevate youth in agriculture. Fundraising efforts result in scholarship opportunities, mentoring programs, and contributions to their projects.

Of primary interest in the support of Oklahoma youth in agriculture is the Oklahoma Youth Expo, the "World's Largest Junior Livestock Show". Animals are purchased and scholarships are given to the young people.

2005 was the start-up year for the Diamond Hats. Twenty-eight members joined, and through fundraising efforts,
were able to raise nearly $15,000!

Since our initial year, the Diamond Hats has only continued to grow in membership and contributions made to Oklahoma's agricultural youth.

Mission
To unite Oklahoma women in the promotion and support of youth in agriculture.

Vision
To elevate the high quality of youth in agriculture and their value to Oklahoma communities and business.

Purpose

To ensure that Oklahoma youth are prepared to be future leaders of business in Oklahoma.


Having recently learned of this organization, I have taken it upon myself to donate something to this wonderful cause. Having been a student involved in agriculture myself, and continue to do so to this day, I realize the importance of having those scholarships available to continue preparing the youth of our great nation and great state of OKLAHOMA to be future leaders.


Here is the item I will be donating to this year's ball:


I can't decide if I want to donate an OSU necklace too...

I'll let ya know!

Thursday

I can honestly say, I can't wait for Thursday. Despite the fact that I have like 1 billion things to get done this week, I think I'm going to take a little rest and relaxation and watch my favorite show - Grey's Anatomy.

Which means?

I won't be making necklaces on any Thursday for a while (unless it is reruns of course).

I kind of miss my girlfriends and vegging out on cookie dough and our infamous dessert we would make. Good times.

-Have a great week!
