God, You truly are amazing!

If this is your first time here, and you are coming over from the Crazy Love Challenge, then you are going to need a little history about what is going on. You can read about who we are HERE, and you can read a little about what is going on right now HERE. DO go and read through the blog some, read about the things God is doing, I promise you will be encouraged

Long story short we are in need of a new home for the sickest of our sick babies, and right now, that home will also hold our healthy babies. I hate the thought of moving again, ugh, it is not fun.
But I also know that moving will be such a good thing for the ministry, with more and more sick babies coming we need a place that can not only have a special isolation room, but that is close to us, where training our staff is easier, a place that happens to be smack dab in the middle of a whole bunch of local churches. What a better place for people to see every day what God is doing for the orphans? It is also better for our family, right now the sick babies live with us, which means for weeks at a time we have babies who don't sleep, who require a lot of care, and that puts stress on our family as we try to keep up with everything else and our own two precious girls.

When Linn posted her Crazy Love Challenge, and she included us, we needed $5000. And we needed it quickly, like yesterday type quick.

Hope woke us up, screaming as usual. BTW, 4 weeks ago she couldn't cry at all because her heart was so bad, I figure even as tired as we are, we will rejoice that she is screaming and letting us know she is ALIVE!

After she was settled Bill went and checked our email, and what should be in there but an email from someone we have never met before saying that they sent the need out to friends and family, and one of those friends wants to meet the whole $5000 that was left!

Can you believe it?

Thank you God, You are Amazing!

So thank you for coming on over and reading this post. Of course, we have on-going needs, daily, weekly, monthly. Our needs get bigger with every baby that comes BUT God is always faithful in providing those needs. Perhaps there is some part of this ministry God is asking you to be part of, perhaps it is helping with these on-going needs, but if not.......

Know that God is always faithful, to me, to you. He met the urgent need we have of a new house, and perhaps He would like you to go back to the Crazy Love Challenge and find out someone else who needs something this week!
