Lots going on.
Anxiously waiting to hear the total raised in Lindsy's auction, "(hand)made for Glory" in a couple of days. And if you haven't checked it out or bid on anything, you really must.
Furiously sorting books and trying to be a good librarian like my husband and sister (yep, it runs in the family). Literally spent all day organizing the hundreds of books generous friends and family donated for our book sale tomorrow.
**Take a minute to learn about "Ethiopia Reads." Really amazing organization. They build libraries and schools and send donkey mobile libraries into the most rural parts of Ethiopia. Our little kids from church, the "Creek Risers" are honored to support this group in our book sale. You really need to read about them :-)
Finding myself joining yet another group to raise money for Ethiopian orphans. It involves sewing and Ethiopian coffee....right up my alley. I'll definitely share more later as things get in full swing before the holidays.
Thinking about my dear grandmothers and sweetest mother of them all! I am so so blessed and can only hope to be a tiny glimmer of the women they all are/were.
Thinking about mamas 7900 miles away. One in particular, wherever she may be. I doubt she knows about Mother's Day, but I do. I honor her and respect her and seek to bring grace, mercy and meaning to her most painful decisions.
Thankful for friends who will cry with me, share God's grace with me, share struggles with me, love and forgive with me. I am blessed.
Time for rest. Friends will be here early with arms ready to help, pancakes & bacon to chow down and company galore. It will be a beautiful day and my hope is that it brings God glory, as we seek to serve and bring the joy of learning and books to children 7900 miles away.
