"But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled.
If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day." Habakkuk 2:3

BLESSINGS~
This week has been a week of blessings-it started out when I went to get my hair trimmed (it had been a few months) and my hairdresser-Cindy Hall, told me that she wanted to put the money that we would normally pay for Cassidy and I to get hair cuts toward bringing our baby home! What a sweet blessing this was! She is the owner of The Red Door in S. Salem-check them out-it is a great salon!We then found out that one of the fundraisers that we are doing through LifeSong for Orphans-and asking people to donate has raised over $1,000 and we will ge the final figure later this week.
We also found out that there was another referral and so we should now be number 10 on the waitlist-come on single digets!!
Another blessing came tonight when we had our "Basket Making Party". Some friends and family came by to help us take all of the auction items (over 700) and put them into baskets and make up nice ones to auction off....this was quite a task and we worked from 5 to 10! I so appreciate your help guys-couldn't have done it without you!! Check out these pictures-can you say out of control?! :-) Almost all of them are done and now we have to take each one and make a bid sheet for them. We made over 125 baskets!!!!! and still have about 40 items that will be all on their own at the auction.

"Although it may not always be obvious to us, there seems to be one distinct moment when God begins a new story in each of our lives. He writes words on our hearts that long to be spoken and strain to be lived out. Then with His own great hand, He begins to write the script. Experience by experience through seemingly ordinary days, He supernaturally orders our lives. Only when we look back and reflect on what appeared to have been the ordinary events of life does it become clear what a miracle the Lord has performed." Jan Beazely
