Believe it or not, blogging isn't really my thing ;)
Regardless, the ministry continues, and I am so thankful. Unfortunately, I haven't had as much time in the last few months to maintain the same level of productivity I had going, but hopefully that will change soon.
A few months ago, a friend connected me to a darling girl named Kate McRae who has battled cancer for the last few years at an incredibly young age. Her mom beautifully updates their caringbridge site, http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mcraekate,
which evokes tears with every single read. I can't imagine the heartache this family has been through. Yet to see the faith they have in God as they plead for their daughter's life is astounding.
I was excited to send that sweet girl an assortment of headbands to wear and share.
Next month, my kindergarten class will contribute items to send a care package to the children at St. Jude's Research Hospital. They are all very excited to bless these kids in need.
To hear my students' prayers for these children would melt the hardest of hearts.
I'll also contribute another set of headbands to St. Jude's in December!
As I mentioned earlier, I anxiously await the near future when I will have more time to contribute to this ministry. In the mean time, thank you so much to all who have continued to contribute, even in my busyness! DeeDee Furguson in Fallon, Nevada, has started selling the headbands in her store, Cobblestone Corner. Sara and her sisters worked in this store while in high school. What a blessing to have DeeDee sell the headbands there! A big thanks to Kathleen Rauch and Shauna Nelson at CoCoMay Salon who have volunteered to sell the headbands and clips. I've also received an abundance of fabric donations from Kathleen, Cindy Lenker and Jean Hyden - THANK YOU!
I'm praying big prayers for this ministry as I would love to see it continually grow as we all watch Sara's lasting light continue to touch lives.
Here's a glimpse at the latest "holiday collection" I sent to Cobblestone Corner.
