Land Ho!

Happy Saturday!  I hope you're all having a chance to grab some much needed rest and perhaps a little fun, too!

So much has happened since our last post, less than 2 weeks ago, that it's hard to know where to start.  As the title suggests, we're in negotiations for some land.  It's 125 acres and already includes a "children's home" on site.  It's a beautiful property with great potential.  The couple/organization that currently own it are PRECIOUS!  It's our desire to see their mission continued through us, if that is what the Lord has.

God has also continued to bring like-minded people to join our team.  The numbers of people willing and waiting to volunteer are just amazing to us.  We have met with individuals, couples and church leaders that are all excited about what God is doing and are praying with us as we try to stay in step with His leading. 

Very soon, we will begin to ask people to start saving their gently-used kids clothes, toys, etc and to start watching for specials on things like soap, shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes.  We will need towels, sheets, comforters and much more. 

God is moving friends.  This could happen so much faster than we thought it would.  Please be in prayer as we await the price on the property.  Pray for wisdom in how/if we should proceed.  We are currently penning our vision and mission statements, preparing our financial predictions, by-laws, etc.  All of the detail things that have to happen in order to proceed. 

These are such exciting times.  I wake up almost every night to pray and praise.  He puts a song in my heart and praise on my lips as I think about the way He is allowing us to be a part of His plan. 

Thank YOU for being a part of it too!
