My new precious friends!

Even though they are in a far away country I still consider these cute angels my friends!
Celine has $0 in her grant fund & her smile took my breath away!
Maria is also still looking for some more funds & is also such a cutie pie!
Both these girls are still waiting on their forever families!!
Lastly little Liam who has found a family but they are still in the process of bringing him home & raising funds!
Please consider praying for them & the other special needs orphans of the world that are at risk of facing institutions at 4-5 yrs old or consider donating to any of these precious angels grant funds!!

11 days til I embark on my journey

Yep 11 precious days til i leave for Camp Barnabas term 7 with my team. i am so anxiously awaiting returning to camp! In 05 i was so disapointed not to go when we had just moved out here & last year I decided to try out youth camp which turned out to be a totally different plan than I thought it would be but God sure blessed me through that mini adventure & wanted me there. Now I am excited to go back yet again my 6th year there but my 1st time as a CIA (Christ in youth) counselor! I pray that God will use me to bless another camper with love as camp has done for me!

Celine

I had been looking at all the angels on reeces rainbow which is a site that lists international children most with down syndrome or other special needs up for adoption after following 1 journey of a local family to adopt a precious little girl named Sophia. There i heard about the plight of orphans with special needs over seas & realized just how lucky my own sister was by being born in america with resources as well as improvements of society with those with special needs. Once they reach the age of 4 they get instutionalized. I hope that they will soon accept people there but for now I want to commit to praying for these angels to find their forever family & to help bring them home! Little Celine captured my heart with her smile & I am commited to praying & raise funds for her as well as the others!

Sewing life ever to start??

agg I so what to start sewing & need to if I want to make myself some shorts that are my style!! Problem is I have so many projects to do other than sewing but hopefully when I get back I will be able to have a few sewing days.
I have several cute girl dress patterns & still have yet to make a dress i promised steph for her bday 2 months ago. I want to start making it before she has another growth spurt. The only thing left is getting more fabric that will work for outfits!! I only have quilt squares, flannel for taggies & some other lovely fabric that I have no clue with what to make of it. I need to find someone that can help me make a simple square quilt as i need to use the squares up. I love making stuff for people but also want to start selling more on etsy which i think sewing would be another thing i could do.

Soul searching/sacrifices of love

Ever have one of those moments where you know its time to do some more soul searching?? I have been feeling lately thats what I should do but everytime I start I don't know where to start.
God gave me the best sacrifice of all by Jesus dying for my sin so I think I should sacrifice my time for him. I know its hard to start but I must learn to give of myself to him just like I am giving my time volunteering to his glory & honor at the resource center. I hope to gain more understanding this summer when I work at camp barnabas, but for now I am sacrificing little things such as giving up things I might want to do.

Blessings stored in heaven

I have not yet even sent all my support letters/emails & all the people I have sent emails to all have been very supportive. I feel very blessed & am excited to look forward to this new adventure I am embarking upon. God has let me grown up with great parents & great sunday school teachers/childrens ministry leaders to help lead me in a Godly life. Camp Barnabas has also helped me through faith & I will always treasure the fact that I chose to get baptisted there & they were ever so excited for me to do it! To all my friends, words can not describe how much each one of you have meant to me each in your own personal way! You have cared, loved me, listened when I needed an ear to talk with, prayed for me at the moments I needed it most, a shoulder to lean on or cry on, & most important shared a special bond that I will always remember no matter where life takes me! I am trying not to cry just typing this! You all mean that much to me!
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:20
I hope that you will take this verse with you & learn more from it! I will be updating this blog more in the future with things in my life as well as sharing more about my adventures & such so please follow my blog if you have a google account!
