Heart of a Servant

This is a photo by Hannah Williams, one of those servants who is giving of her time and gifts to help us get a website up and running.

I just have to say how amazed I have been with the recent calls, emails and face-to-face conversations with people who have voiced a willingness to help us.  We have had a handful of people tell us they'd like to help in various capacities, many without wanting pay.  These are all answers to my prayers.  Seriously.  I have prayed that the LORD would bring others alongside us who would be willing to be part of this ministry, that they would understand the heart of the ministry.  I'm greatly encouraged.


I say that as I work away on the budget, trying to figure out all the unknowns so I can give the bank an idea of how we'll come out after sales and expenses......how do you make a budget not knowing how much you'll sell?  This is definitely not my area of expertise!  I'm trying not too worry...it's hard, though.


Some of you have asked how the girls are doing.  I've had them all at home since I gave birth to our firstborn, and I think that I'm so busy during the day, that I don't worry about them.  They are going through a lot of changes, and encountering testing (something I never did until high school level course work), homework after schoolwork, less time to play and create, some drama (in the 6th grade).  However, we have seen the LORD answer specific prayers for them, and what's cool is, they realize it.  So the answer is, they are doing okay.....we'll see how long we last at this phase.  We are a close family, enjoy being together and enjoy being at home.  God will show us, I'm confident.
