I was working on the finishing touches yesterday for the packing party and it happened. Again. It happens every year. Panic! I work all year to shop and locate items for the boxes. I think I am doing great, then I look at the pile of goodies and think, “It’s not enough”. Have you ever […]
The big packing party is this week. I’m a little scared. I’ve never done a packing party for 600 boxes before. Last year we did 300 boxes. That was fun, but a lot of work. This year we are setting up a day early so I can see if there are any needs I missed. […]
Well, I have some exciting news! The quest for free washcloths is over! I was able to finish the washcloths up last week with some Kohl’s cash. Yay!!! I really hate spending money on washcloths, but at this point I feel they need to go in the boxes. I use every opportunity to get them […]
My God goal this year is 600 shoeboxes for $600. I spend $50 a month out of my pocket for tax, any time I go over, etc., but the rest of the money is provided from God! Here is what I have so far: spiral notebooks 600+ crayons/markers 600+ washcloths 382+78 from yesterday=460 / need 140 […]
I am so excited! I was able to use $50 in Kohl’s cash yesterday to add to my washcloth collection! I have been working all year collecting items for my Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. I have a God goal of 600 boxes for $600. Yesterday I purchased 13 packs at $3.99 each. I spent $2.02 […]
I work for Jesus. I should be fired. I have been given several tasks to complete……but I haven’t. I should be fired. I show up late. I should be fired. There are days I show up with a horrible attitude and short temper. I should be fired. There are days I DON’T EVEN SHOW UP!!! […]
I have been battling God on several things for several years. I haven’t won a single fight yet. I have been called to do certain things, but I do not have training. I’m not organized enough. I’m not creative like the others. I don’t have the right schooling. My list goes on and on and on. I also have another list. I’m […]
It has been an internal fight. I do not feel equipped to “do a blog”. I am walking out in faith that this is what God is calling me to do at this time. The time is NOW for Christians to stand up and be obedient to what God has called each of us to […]
I have been challenged to fill 600 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child for $600. This does not include the shipping fee. That will be taken care of separately. First of all, 600 boxes is a BIG goal! It is more than we have done in the past. I’m wondering where I will store all the […]
I have been toying with the idea of starting a blog for many, many years. I have owned this domain on and off for about 8 years. I started it once and let it expire. I feel very out of my element, but I’m going to go for it and give it a shot. I […]
