What a blast to serve others!  

One of our new referrals needed a couch and we thought we had one being held for us. Turns out it was given away elsewhere-so we had to scramble for a replacement. We checked the internet and a couch and loveseat were just listed as available a half hour before. We inquired and didn’t get a response. In the meantime, the response cards from another church were looked through and there was one  that had a note that they had a couch to donate! The note was made last fall though so it would be a miracle if the family still had it around. Sure enough, it was still around and had been cleaned since!  God had it figured out long ago. 

Here are some quotes from the past 48 hours.  

“I think I got the best night sleep I ever had last night! Thank you so much for the bed! I am getting a new perspective going through this. Thank you for everything you’ve done. I was always the kind of person to help other people but now I need help. Is there someone I can write a thank you note to?

 Praise God for a tremendous Women’s Brunch Event!  Thanks to all who prayed for and all who worked so hard on making the brunch come together!  The financial donations are being figured this week and we are thrilled about what God will be able to do with them. We will be searching for a storage solution.  

 God coordinated the main speaker’s talk with ours without any communication between us down here! That was an awesome planning detail!  If the guests only had known!

Please pray for the R&R families as they try to make it through the holidays.  A few are still homeless.  

Tomorrow a R&R delivery crew will be helping a woman at a battered women’s shelter move her belongings to storage. It’s really sad to see so many people without resources for moving. This is why so many people have to start from scratch when they move or get evicted for not paying rent etc. No resources for help in their network. They can only take what they can carry without transportation help.

Two beds are scheduled to be delivered to another family on Sunday and a single mom will be getting help with weatherizing her duplex windows by a service crew member tomorrow.  

So… every day is different and God will use whomever is willing to be used!
