Our first garage sale customer!

I am really excited about our Fundraiser October 23rd! The last three fundraisers for Africa have been blessing. We will be having a band play and at the end the concert goers will get to enjoy a time of worship! There has been some art work donated and we made up some AWESOME tshirts (designed by my friend Tim Pile) to sell and we will also have the necklaces made by the kids of The Challenge Farm if you were not able to make our jewelry party last weekend. Thank you again for all your support! I am anxious to purchase our tickets and get to AFRICA to see the kids I have fallen in love with! I know that God will provide....He always does!

Garage Sale

Well, the sale has been over for several hours and even though there has been a huge amount of disappointment, I am once again reminded of how "my" plans are not my own. I am so easily frustrated and forget that God is in Control and will provide for the vision He has given me. I too quickly run towards all the negatives and forget to give thanks for the blessing. So...with that said, thank you Lord for providing 540 dollars more than we had yesterday!!! We are going to book our tickets this weekend, and will not owe our accounts too much.....this is a huge blessing!

Tatum is absolutely amazing and doing so well. She always amazes me daily!!!!

Photography Credits

We have been blessed by great photographers! One being Taci Fast with Milly Rose Photography. She does an amazing job and is one of Tatum's favorite people! She always does great for her. Taci comes to our home and that makes it more comfortable for the little ones. Check out Taci's website: http://www.millyrosephotography.com/

A Fresh Start

I have finally joined the blogging world and am excited to share moments with family and friends. I have been so blessed in life and easily forget just how much I have been loved, given, and encouraged. I want this blog to be one of praise and thanksgiving for all God has done in my life, Ivan's, Tatum's and the ministries that I am part of. I hope that you are encouraged in your own life and will keep us in your prayers as we strive to be close to Christ and bring others to Him!!! Enjoy!
