Widows AND Orphans

Good morning all!
I wanted to update you that we're still
waiting to hear from my finger prints.
They're running a name search
so I'm unsure of how long it will take.
Wanna know what I'm doing on the outside
(while I'm patiently waiting on the inside?)
I'm spending the day at the park
with James' first grade class.
The boys' end of the year activities
have kept me b-u-s-y. :)

God's also given me a little side project.
I've been feeding my shut in neighbor.
At first I just talked to her,
declined her out to lunch invites
and yes, even hid in the bathroom one day
while she rang the doorbell.
But while I was sitting in the bathroom floor,
God convicted me.
He very plainly stated that His word says to care for
the orphans AND the widows.
Um Yes Sir, 
I'll get up out of the bathroom floor right now.
Needless to say we've been joyfully doing what we can.
The coolest part?
I've been slipping scripture in her meals and cards.

Wow, it's so wonderful to think that the work
I'm doing can impact the eternal life of others...
the orphans and the widows. :)

Now I'm off to shower and put on my CCPS t-shirt.
I'll keep you posted on the fingerprints!
God's blessings on your day friends, Sarah :D

Ray of Hope

Remember that ray of hope I mentioned yesterday?
Well after a long and emotional morning,
I took a time out.
I grabbed some lunch and headed outside.
I sat in the sun and spent time in God's word.
My hour was spent crying, praying and feeling His comfort.
After coming inside to freshen up and do some Mama work,
I decided to check the mail.
As my mind was filled with a million different things
my eyes focused on three Priority Mail envelopes.
Hhm, what could that be??
It was not one, but three rays of hope
delivered at just the right time!
Joseph, James and I all received our passports today.
HOORAY!!!
We may not have anywhere to go just yet,
but when the time comes we'll be ready to GO.

Thanks for all your prayers friends!

Thank you Lord for filling me with your spirit and covering me in your grace.

God's blessings on your afternoon, Sarah :)
