We're back in business!

Okay, my last blog was a little depressing, I apologize. But just when you think there's no hope, alas, along come the requests. I decided to spend last Friday digging my heels in and contacting some organizations that have been on my radar for awhile in addition to refreshing the memories of those I'm already working with to let them know we're still here. And it worked! Just one day of effort will reach so many! Thank you Lord for giving me the strength to continue this journey and have faith that I can do it, even when I lose faith in myself. I've added 2 organizations who are already keeping me very busy and refreshed some contacts I've been working with to get help to some new families in need. There is so much good work to do!

And I have such wonderful news! A church from the city is moving into Clarence Center and they are looking to do a community outreach building! We've had conversations and all seems to be moving in the right direction that Wear 'n Share will soon have a new bigger home. Yeah!!!!

So let me share one more story to continue on this happy blog. This week I was so proud to be able to help a family who devotes their life to helping others. This family spends 3 years at a time in Tanzania helping with the relief/development initiative going on there to help families build their lives. Clothing is hard to come by there and very expensive so I was so happy to help clothe their children for their journey knowing that when they outgrow their clothing they will "pay it forward" by passing along their clothes to Tanzania children in need. It's what Wear 'n Share's "circle of giving" is all about!
