Amazing night

It's late and I need to go to bed, but I just had to post quickly first. Tonight was the premiere of my documentary, and let's just say that it was a success. It was amazing! It was one of the best nights ever. First of all, the theater was packed. Here's what it looked like minutes before it began:

Every seat was taken, chairs were set up in the back, and people were turned away (unfortunately.. I hope no one was upset, but we were forced to because it would have been a fire hazard), so that means there were more than 280 people in attendance. The movie couldn't have gone better - people laughed in all the right places (and in some spots I didn't predict!), oooed and awwwed, and some even told me they cried. We got a standing ovation at the end, and as people were leaving, I felt like I was in a receiving line at my wedding. It was incredible! Oh, and believe it or not (I still don't), we sold more than 200 DVDs! What?! That was a shocker. On the ride up this afternoon I asked my husband if he thought we'd sell 20. Who knew?

God has blessed us in ways I could never have imagined. A couple years ago, before I began work on this project, I prayed and prayed for God to give me something to work on, some big way I could serve Him. I asked for this because of infertility - I wanted something to focus on, I wanted something important to do if I currently was not called to be a mother. Well, God definitely delivered. I never would have guessed that all of this would have worked out like it did, and that tonight could have happened. The road would have been much too difficult if not for little gifts from God (free trip to Italy, donation to cover costs, not having to work, etc., etc., etc.). He made everything so easy and for that I am eternally grateful. It is just more evidence that He is answering my prayers.

Thanks so much for all your support and prayers! I'll post more pictures tomorrow :)
